The bible does bnot tell us not to drink but it strictly admonishes us not to get drunk. Many young people have b nothing but emptiness inside their hearts. We all have a place that only God can fill. Withouth Him to complete our lives they are hollow and meaningless. There is a hunger inside and these souls will do or try almost anything to fill that space and find satisfaction. They lust after the things of this world and when they get them they feel better but only for a moment . Then they are faced with the realization that what they lusted after was only temporary satisfaction at best, they are empty again. Only God can satisfy their hearts.
As far as trying these things it is generally better to leave them alone if possible. A testimony of being delivered is awesome but there is one even better- a testimony of a heart that kept itself pure out of love for Christ.
I hope this helps in some way.
Much love and many blessings in His Name, brother Larry.
