Actually, God will chastise the saved. But one who stubbornly rebels against God's clear commands, is that one truly of God?
Jesus said many who thought they were of Christ would one day find out that they were not of Christ at all. (Matthew 7:24)
Scripture warns of false teachers that will arise these last days and will lead people astray. How many are led astray by the falsehood that God allows them to consume alcohol? The very drink they claim that God allows kills tens of thousands a year.
My Bible tells me that woe is ahead for the one that puts a bottle to his neighbor's lips. Yet, we know God's people are not appointed to wrath.
So you tell me.... is God going to say 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant' to the one who ignores His clear command for abstinence and deceives many by telling them it is ok to drink?
In light of this verse,

I would say God is indeed angry with the wicked every day and His wrath will come upon them just as His Word declares.
