1 Timothy 5:23

Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent infirmities.

It is needful that deacons, in like manner, be grave, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy of base gain;

And be not drunken with wine, in which is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;

not given to wine, not a striker, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money,

For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain;

that aged women, in like manner, be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

Because every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, when it is received with thanksgiving;
