Psalms 78:44

And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
42

They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

43

How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:

44

And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.

45

He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

46

He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Total Abstinence

This verse describes a plague where rivers and floods were turned into blood, making them undrinkable. It makes no mention of wine, alcohol, or any form of abstinence, but rather focuses on a miraculous and punitive transformation of water sources.
