What are Christians belief on drinking wine?

There's a passage of Scripture that speaks of how "A LITTLE wine is good for the infirmities of the stomach", and the Bible speaks openly of it's SYMBOLISM involving purity. Therefore, I would say, don't drink it in excess, for being drunk displeases God and damages the Temple (us) in which He wants to dwell.

I'm a Christian to and I like beer and mixed drinks.  That in itself is not a sin.  The abuse of it, however, is.  \n\nEven Jesus drank wine.  At the wedding where he performed his first miracle of making wine from water (if it were a sin he would not have contributed to it) and at the last supper he drank it and had his disciples drink it (he wouldn't have caused them to sin).\n\nSo yes, it is okay.  Just be in control and moderate!

Well, that's pretty much the official belief of many Christians, including the Roman Catholic Church. They believe in evolution, an old-earth, etc. They just believe that God was the driving force guiding that evolution.

(I'm assuming that we're talking about Communion under the appearance of wine, and that we're also talking about a church which believes in the Real Presence. If either of these are untrue, kindly disregard this post.)\n\nWhile it's true that you aren't required to drink a particular amount of the Precious Blood, it still maintains the "accidents" of wine, so it can still make you drunk. And of course, it also tastes like wine. \n\nHowever, because the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Christ are present in each species - the Host and the Blood - you aren't required to take both. In my church, I'd say only 15% of people actually partake of both species. At least from a Catholic viewpoint, it's absolutely-100%-okay to abstain from the Blood if you feel you need to.

A glass of red wine a day is said to be good for the heart, and blood. Beer will just make you fat!

Catholicism is a sect of Christianity.  All Christians are the same in that they believe in Jesus as the Savior.  Catholics and other sects will have their own way of worshiping.  Catholics celebrate mass every Sunday where the most important part of the mass is the Liturgy of the Eucharist where we receive Holy Communion.  Here is another difference.  It is in the form of a small circle called a host, but we believe that the priest changes it into the real body (and the wine into blood) of Christ just as Jesus did at the last supper.  Other Christians may only receive Communion 1 time a month or on certain occasions ( I think Lutherans may recieve weekly).  Other Christians may also believe that the communion is only a representation of Jesus.  We also see the Pope as the head of the church.  Catholics believe in saints, but not all Christians do

Christians believe in many different things. Me and my mom are Christians but she is Mormon and I am Pentecostal. We don't see the same things but we both are Christians. For me it is how I want to Praise Jesus. For her she is mostly told how to praise Jesus. But we have the common factor which is Jesus.

Well yes God has emotions like all of us. Jesus laughed and was really humorous in his teachings.\nIt would not surprise me in the least if when i got to heaven Jesus was drinking a beer just hanging out and telling jokes!\n\nP.S. people try to say that wine in ancient times wasn't alchol but more like grape juice. this is wrong. wine in ancient times was alchol and very strong.  It is not a sin to drink alchol but it is to get drunk.\nold wine was contaminated wine. new wine was not. this is why they never mixed it!

Most things are good, in moderation. Anything in excess could kill you (even water). There's nothing wrong with having a glass of wine every now and then, as David pointed out. It's making a habit of it, or depending on the wine to ease your spirits, that causes problems. Don't get drunk, and you're okay.

Christians believe in a personal God. He takes intense interest and action in the world. So much so that he came to earth as a baby, grew up into a man, and was executed. Being God however He rose from the dead.\n\nWith love in Christ.

You are able to drink and be chrisian. I am Catholic and that is the norm when you go to parties or picnics. Baptists are not so liberal about drinking though.

having alchoholic beverages isn't bad. but having it fill you, that's the bad thing thing. christians are not advised to it due to our human nature having things that is too much for us. it is advised in the Ephesians to "..be filled of the Holy Spirit instead of wine." Timothy was a disciple of Paul yet Paul advised Him to take a LITLLE wine to improve his health. 'drinking" isn't prohibited in christianity, it is BEING DRUNK that is being abominated.

Wine was important as it was their main, if not only, drinking source. Water in that area at that time was not safe to drink so they did not partake and they did not have the knowledge that we do today of boiling water to purify it. This was the same reason that the Ancient Egyptians were known for brewing beer. Even in the New Testament times, that was the case. Take the story of the wedding at Cana as an example. They had jars of water that most people today don't understand why they didn't drink. Then Jesus turned it into wine so that it was drinkable. The water wasn't safe. It had nothing to do with people back then being drunkards as many Christian denominations today say was the case so they choose that reason to prohibit it. If Jesus and his followers drank wine, why is it forbidden by so many Christians today and throughout history?
