The Jewish leaders tried to discredit Jesus, saying He was a drunkard (Matthew 11:19 ). Jesus warned that the cares of life may lead to anxiety and drunkenness (Luke 21:34 ). Paul repeatedly warned against the dangers of drunkenness (Romans 13:13; 1 Corinthians 5:11; Galatians 5:21; 1 Thessalonians 5:7 ). Timothy 1 Thessalonians 3:3 and Titus 1:7 warn church leaders they must not be drunkards. Drunkenness is a pagan custom, not a Christian one ( 1 Peter 4:3 ). Drunkards are among these who will not “inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:10 ).
