Is drinking alcohol a sin?

Whenever I drink alcohol, I always feel guilty the next day. I don’t make a fool of myself or anything when Im drinking but guilt still overwhelms me…
Im curios if drinking alcohol is a sin cause in the bible many people drank wine. I recall a part in the bible where Noah was so drunk he fell asleep naked and later his sons saw him laying naked and covered him.
So what do ya think, is drinking a sin or what?

I had cancer and the chemo damaged my liver. My doctor told me not to drink alcohol because I needed to save my liver for when I get cancer again. My enzymes levels are fine.

The doctor also told me the kind of cancer I would get is 100% fatal (but not painful). There is currently no cure for it. Maybe in the future.

My marriage sucks. No communication, no sex, no fighting anymore. I am being treated for depression and in therapy but I feel trapped. I cannot leave. I tried.

as in once it wears off does it make the anxiety worse? If so and you have someone with anxiety that’s pretty much saying that person can never get drunk or else the anxiety will always worsen?

Album Description
It’s been discovered that sound can be used to elicit responses in the brain; the brain becomes “entrained”, which means it starts to resonate at the same frequency as the sound. When this happens, it can change the brain wave patterns in your brain. It has been found that people with addictive personalities have low Alpha activity within their brains; this means they have trouble relaxing, and turning off their thoughts. Also, those with low SMR levels have a tendenc… More >>

I drank for the first time ever last week, I had 6 shots, 2 beers and about 10 glasses full of water during my drinking session. I felt fine the next morning at 8am, but at about 10am, I started feeling horribly nauseas, and at about 11am I started shivering. I was kind of freaking out.
I ended up being nauseas til the next morning (12 hours of sleep helped).

I’m wondering if I had alcohol withdrawal or not.
It was my first time, so I am really not sure.

The day after I get drunk, I usually have a mild hang over. You know, I’m sort of sluggish and dehydrated. That’s about it.

But emotionally, I feel really depressed and almost guilty about something. It’s a heavy dreary feeling. The first few times this happened, I kept feelin like I had done something wrong. But now, I realise it just happens after I drink a lot. There must be a chemical cause to this awful feeling associated with hang over. Does anyone else have these effects or know what causes it?

(Also, I drink an appropriate level of alcohol. I get really drunk on those occassions when others are drunk too- for example at a wedding or a holiday or a party. Friends and family drink a lot, but I’m not talking about regular boozing)
I’m not asking for advice. I know it is a depressant and I know that I could obviously just not drink to avoid the feeling.

Drinking alcohol while on Lexapro for 2 weeks?

I’ve been taking Lexapro and Klonopin for about 2 weeks now. I had a couple episodes of panic attacks and anxiety attacks before. Went to the ER and they prescribed me to lexapro and klonopin.

2 days ago, I went out drinking with friends and overdid myself. Yesterday, I felt fine, no anxiety or panic attack. However, today, I had an episode of panic attack.

Could alcohol cause lexapro to not work and cause me to have one? I never had any anxiety/panic attacks nor depression ever since on medications except today. I did cut down on klonopin because the doctor recommended it.

How long does irritability and anxiety last once you stop drinking alcohol.

I’ve been drinking lots of beer for 15 years and recently have been drinking almost daily this past year.

I noticed i get irritable and anxious when I’m not drinking.

What can i expect when I quit?
Finchy : Wow, you are good. I couldn’t ask for a better answer. Every thing you said makes sense.

drinking alcohol while on prozac…?

I recently started taking prozac becasue of my mild depression symptoms. I don’t have any suicidal thoughts and never had. It’s more of a “feeling tired all the time” and unmotivation kind of depression. I was wondering if it’s okay to drink alcohol around two times a month while taking prozac. I am a teenager if that makes a difference.
Thanks.
I also wouldn’t be taking them at the same time. I would be taking the prozac around 7:00 am and drinking around 11:00 pm.

I dont drink very much, maybe once every week to two weeks, but i just got back from vacation with a bunch of friends for 5 days and i was usually drunk by 11am and would stop drinking at 2 or 3 am. Is it possible that i’m feeling alcohol withdrawal after this vacation even though i only drank for a few days?
