The bible does not prohibit the drinking of alcohol but warns against drunkenness. It doesn’t command complete or total abstinence but emphasizes it. Japanese have a rightly worded proverb on alcohol:

First the man takes a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes the man. ~ Japanese Proverb

    But how can we reach the culture unless we become like them? (sarcasm)

    Where does the Bible “emphasize” complete abstinance?
