Is it wrong to consume alcohol?

> **Possible Duplicate:** > [How far is too far when it comes to drinking alcohol?](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/712/how-far-is-too-far-when-it-comes-to-drinking-alcohol) Most Christians agree that getting drunk is wrong, and there's even a question about [getting tipsy](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/712/what-about-getting-tipsy) . But is it okay for Christians to consume alcohol at all? I realize there are many views, and different (Christian) traditions and cultures have different takes on this question, so please provide Biblical (or other authoritative) evidence for your view.
