Definition: The term "alcoholizable" in the Bible, as used in Deuteronomy 14:10-12, refers to a person who has had some experience or knowledge of alcoholic beverages that could potentially influence their judgment when making moral decisions. This is not typically understood by the modern understanding of alcohol consumption. In Deuteronomy 14:10, God instructed Abraham on the matter, stating: "Abraham said, 'God, why have you brought me here to take your daughter Sarah and her son Isaac? If I don't keep them from drinking, will you not let me die?' [This passage is used to question whether or not a person's life would be saved if they drank alcohol. The question is: Would the God's judgment cause Abraham to lose his life?]" The Israelites were given several instructions on this subject, and God instructed Abraham that he should make sure that their offspring (the daughters of Sarah) did not drink from her father's table or from the animals used for food. In Deuteronomy 14:11, God said: "Then he said to him, 'Abraham, why have you brought me here? If I don't keep them from drinking, will you not let me die?' [God's judgment is based on the fact that if an individual has not been told and acted upon God's commands, they are accountable for their actions. This is similar to "alcoholizable"]" In Deuteronomy 14:12, God instructed Abraham and Sarah about how they should treat their offspring: "Abraham said, 'God, why have you brought me here? If I don't keep them from drinking, will you not let me die?' [This passage is used to question whether or not the Israelites would be saved if they drank alcohol. The question is: Would God's judgment cause Abraham to lose his life?]" The purpose of this instruction was primarily to warn Abraham and Sarah of the potential consequences of drinking from their daughter's father's table and the animals used for food. In Deuteronomy 14:13, God instructed Abraham regarding his relationship with Isaac: "Abraham said to him, 'God, why have you brought me here? If I don't keep them from drinking, will you not let me die?' [This passage is used to question whether or not the Israelites would be saved if they drank alcohol. The question is: Would God's judgment cause Abraham to lose his life?]" In Deuteronomy 14:14-18, God explained that a person who has experience drinking from alcoholic beverages will naturally drink themselves drunk, which could lead them to commit sins and harm themselves and their children: "The Lord gave me this commandment in the land of Canaan: 'You shall not eat any of these fruits or drink any of these waters that are offered as offerings to the Lord; for I am your God. You shall not eat anything of the fruits of the trees, nor drink any of the waters that come from them. They are a sign of your evil ways, and they will make you stumble before the face of the Lord. [You will] have no knowledge of Me; I cannot be known to you in the way that one knows the voice of the wise. For now, I do not know You; for I am yet unformed from My own understanding, as the children of a woman are not wise.]"
