“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of anything.
1 Corinthians 6:12
Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:1
Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
Proverbs 20:1
Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
1 Peter 5:8

A reflection
The Bible speaks to the nature of addiction, emphasizing the importance of self-control and the dangers of being dominated by desires (1 Corinthians 6:12). It encourages believers to stand firm in the freedom that Christ offers and to avoid entanglements that lead to spiritual bondage (Galatians 5:1). Scripture warns that indulging in substances, such as alcohol, can lead to folly and poverty (Proverbs 20:1; Proverbs 23:21), urging the faithful to be vigilant against temptations that can disrupt their walk with God (1 Peter 5:8).
