       If you are a person who is easily led astray, you probably shouldn’t spend a lot of time hanging out with unbelievers. When you hang out with unbelievers, you can be led into them pressuring you to drink, or smoke, or even something worse. Of course, it’s not wrong to drink alcohol provided that you don’t get drunk. But in a social setting with unbelievers, it’s probably best you don’t drink at all, unless you are a mature Christian—long in the faith, with good self-control. But you have to decide beforehand how much you will drink. Nonetheless, it is good to avoid being in peer-pressure situations when possible. You don’t need to go with your unsaved friends to a bar in order to witness Jesus to them. You can do that in other settings. It’s more likely that their bad company will corrupt your good morals, not your good company making them become good (see 1 Corinthians 15:33). But, make sure you are firm when peer-pressure comes, standing your ground with what God wants and what you know is right. If you have to, leave the situation.
