"Alcohol reduces inhibitions. Aside from that, what is it good for? "
It's good "for thy stomach's sake, and for thine often infirmities," according to Paul.
As for other things, I have mildly elevated blood pressure. My doctor prescribed a medication, but I didn't like the side effects after trying it for a while, so I asked him if there was another way to deal with this non-critical elevation.
He told me to have a glass of wine with my supper. I do, and the elevation went away.
Apparently Paul and my physician knew of something wine is good for. It's the alcohol that lowers the blood pressure.
All in moderation, of course. You can count me as one of those who has one glass then stops.
I have no personal problem with the "one drink" rule.
You were also prescribed it.
It is not wrong for Christians to drink alcohol just as it is not wrong for Christians to have sex or to eat. It is simply a matter of propriety such that there is not a sin or any loss of self-control.
