Losing self-control or sense of judgement. It will differ from person to person.
Is it wrong for Christians to drink alcohol?
When you lose control
I'd say once you start feeling a 'buzz' than its a good time to start drinking water. For men, on average, it takes 3 cups of wine to get drunk (for women 2). So id say limit yourself to one less than what it would take to get you drunk.
Or just one serving if you are really concerned.
A lot of that depends. I know a guy who's 6'0 and weighs about a buck 20 wet with boots on and he can drink more liquor than I would think humanly possible without showing any signs of drunkenness. Genetics, I suppose.
The church and the west and civilization in general has a long track record of making and drinking alcoholic drinks.
beer and wine have historically been the equivalent to modern day sodas, except way better for your health. I home-brew beer and I drink until I'm "satisfied" in terms of thirst.
There is nothing intrinsically wrong with liquor, but I think it can be dangerous since it only serves to put alcohol into your body.
I tried that once with a kit that a friend got me for a birthday years ago. I made the most horrifyingly vomitous concoction I have ever put in my mouth.
No, but its best to completely avoid alcohol since it can very likely lead you to the sin of drunkenness.
