Alcohol has at least five lawful scriptural uses: the sacramental (Mt. 26:27–28), celebratory (Ps. 104:15), medicinal (1 Tim. 5:23), aesthetic (Jn. 2:10), and thirst (Jn. 19:28–30). Of these, the only lawful use for drugs is the medicinal—and the use to which everyone puts drugs is the one use denied to alcohol.
