QUESTIONS

Q1. In the Bible, we are commanded to be sober. Can we take any medications if it has side effects that make us not sober? For example, cough syrups, painkillers, morphine. I know that the general answer is we apply general principles and if a person is sick, we still ought to preserve life. But my question would be, what gives the authority to us that in some situations we must be sober and in some situations we are allowed to take drugs which result in drowsiness? Is it just common sense or general practice?
