Eh? Whyever not?

There are some church groups who shun alcohol completely (eg the Salvation Army who shun alcohol because of the work they do among alcoholics and those forwho alcohol abuse has affected their lives) but for the vast majority of Christians alcohol is not a problem.

Jesus Christ himself drank wine and was known as an 'embiber' by the Pharisees. However Paul warns against drunkenness but does not condemn alcohol totally - only its abuse. The use of alcohol in moderation, then, should be acceptable to all Christians. Even if someone is teetotal at the wedding there will be others who will enjoy a beer or wine (or a scotch or two!) in moderation as a wedding is a social occasion and social drinking is part of that happy occasion. However, it might be wise to provide a non-alcoholic alternative if there are some who cannot drink alcohol, say, for medical or other reasons.

So moderation is the key - the use of alcohol should not be a drunken orgy or total ban, but a sensible, social use.

Have a great wedding!
