I Pet drinking parties Refers to activities such as social drinking.<br />

This behavior is problematic because, while<br />

some may not get drunk, the effect <strong>of</strong> alcohol<br />

results in a loosening <strong>of</strong> one’s moral<br />

Proverbs 16:19; 29:23; Romans 12:16; James 4:6-10)<br />
