The Baptists' big problem was CYO dances and drinking
I understand the drinking prohibition, although I don't personally prohibit alcohol, I could never understand the dance prohibition.

They felt that dancing was the devil's gateway to get you to drinking and fornicating.

I think drinking is one of the main moral issues that Christian conservatives ignore. To me there isn't a more destructive social behavior, at this poitn, than drinking. yet we ignore the issue becaause so many people do it--so who wants to call a friend or family member out?
I proudly do not drink and my denomination (nazarene) tends to argue against it as well.
