Concise Bible Dictionary
:
One of the common sins of mankind. We read of it as early as
Noah
(
Gen. 9:21
21
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. (Genesis 9:21)
). Its
grave
character is shown in the
New
Testament
by the drunkard being classed along with fornicators, thieves, idolaters, etc., and the declaration that no drunkard shall inherit the
kingdom
of
God
(
1 Cor. 5:11
11
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. (1 Corinthians 5:11)
;
1 Cor. 6:10
10
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:10)
).
