QUESTION: "Does the book of Proverbs recommend “strong drink” for those who are depressed? Please explain Proverbs 31:6-7." “Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more” (Prov. 31:6-7;ESV).What does this passage mean? Does it encourage drinking an alcoholic beverage to relieve depression?
