It’s unscriptural to preach against alcohol, drinking alcohol is not a sin, says Omokri as he quotes Bible verse

American-based Nigerian pastor and socio-religious commentator, Reno Omokri has said that the act of consuming alcohol is not a sin.

The former presidential aide said that people who preach against the drinking of alcohol are going against what the scriptures said in relation to the matter.

According to him, the act of drinking it is not a sin, rather, it is getting drunk as a result of the intake that’s a sin.

While quoting Bible verses to back up his statement, Omokri also noted that wine is medicinal.

He wrote;

”Drinking alcohol is not a sin. Drunkenness is a sin. It is unscriptural to preach against alcohol. Wine is drunk even in heaven (Matt 26:29). Wine is medicinal (1 Tim 5:23). In fact, Psalm 104:15 says God created wine to gladden the hearts of men”
