In my opinion the article is about the benefits and harms to drink alcohol. We can learn about the quantities of alcohol consumed that are acceptable to not damage our health.


Read the article and describe what you understand of it in as much detail as possible.

The Bible does not prohibit drinking or eating food whenever a moderate way, because excesses can cause harm to others and especially to the health of oneself.
