If you get drunk every now and then will you go to hell?

Drunkenness IS a sin, according to The Bible. But the Bible teaches that what makes a person go to hell is rejecting a relationship with Jesus Christ. So if you die without having made a real commitment to Christ and asking Him to be your Lord and Savior, you will go to hell. But if you DO make a real commitment to Christ, getting drunk will no longer be something you do. Truly knowing God changes a person's desires, so that they begin to no longer desire the things that God does not desire for us. So they will then begin to stop doing those things, as a normal result of having a real relationship with God.

Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Proverbs 23:29-32 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

Going to hell is a result of deliberate rejection of the truth. A little drunkenness may indicate this or it may indicate something else. In any case, it is clear that God is not pleased with this as He wants people to always be in their right mind. A person who believes in Jesus Christ will seek to do what pleases Him and Jesus will provide the power to have victory in this area. Deliberate excusing of sin, whether it be drunkenness or any other sin indicates a rejection of God's truth. This applies whether it is drunkenness or merely calling sin something like 'character faults' in order to minimize it and so avoiding having to deal with it.

A Holy God, who is the one with whom we all will have to give account, is the one who determines the rules not humans. If there is an intent to excuse and ignore sin in order to avoid pleasing God then this is indeed a dangerous path. If the question itself indicates a desire to mock God and find 'holes in accountability' or to lead other astray, this is also a very serious matter as God will not be mocked in this way.

Answer 2

Whether or not someone goes to hell is a complex theological question that depends on individual beliefs. In many religions, engaging in behaviors like excessive drinking may be considered sinful, but it does not necessarily condemn someone to hell. Ultimately, it is up to individuals to seek forgiveness and make amends for their actions.
