Christian and Muslim views on the use of legal drugs are contradictive of each other. ... The main legal drugs used for social use are alcohol and tobacco. I will look at the teachings and attitudes of Christianity and Islam towards these two legal drugs.
Christianity has no strong objections to the consumption of alcohol and there are no main teachings linked directly to this topic, as these were not issues when the bible was written. Drinking alcohol is mentioned in the bible quite often though, and many Christians believe that it is acceptable as long as it is done sensibly and in moderation. An example of alcohol consumption in the bible is in John chapter 2; where Jesus turns water into wine. ...
Most Christians think that it is acceptable to drink alcohol; however we should drink in moderation, by exercising self-control. ... Alcohol is seen as a temptation, and although there are many passages condemning you if you do not view the consequences of getting drunk, it also says that ‘If you think you are strong, you should be careful not to fall.
