A Christian must ____ from all alcoholic beverages.

• A. Totally abstain
• B. Drink moderately
• C. Avoid only beer
• D. Ignore

Answer: (A)

Totally abstain from all alcoholic beverages is the best choice because this tradition emphasizes holiness and sobriety, choosing to avoid any use of alcohol that could lead to temptation, impaired judgment, or compromised spiritual duties. Drunkenness and intoxication are consistently discouraged in Scripture and church teaching, and complete abstinence helps maintain clear thinking, strong personal discipline, and a trustworthy example for others. Drinking any amount risks stumbling others and weakening the witness of a life devoted to God. The alternatives fall short because moderation still allows alcohol, avoiding only one type misses the others, and ignoring the standard contradicts the call to a disciplined, holy lifestyle.
