Alcoholism/drug addiction are some top ways to completely destroy your life and I think it’s weird that I’ve never heard of anything related to avoiding drugs/alcohol in the Bible. Yes modern drugs are very different but addiction to substances has always been around and I’m sure there were some in biblical times. Even if not, wouldn’t there be some sort of vague mention of it somewhere for future times?
There are so many strict laws to keep you on the right moral path and also help you be a better friend, parent, partner etc, laws to help you be healthier and closer to God but nothing prohibiting a total destruction of the mind/body that God gave you with substances.
I just feel like it’s such a huge thing in the human experience that how could it be left out.
Also, Judaism views alcohol as a good thing but I never understood that as it is harmful to the body. Small amounts are okay, but it’s generally not good for you.
