As I've said in many posts here, drinking alcohol is not a sin. Having sex is not a sin, either.

It is a matter of context and propriety. They become sins when lines are crossed.

Unfortunately, there is a procreative use for sex, which is quite useful in the eyes of God. I'm not sure there's much to suggest alcohol has such wondrous uses before Him.

However, a good gun can protect those entrusted to your care. So of course, I have no problems with guns.

Okay, then apparently we're in agreement, and I apologize if I thought you were suggesting otherwise. Fact is, I rarely if ever drink anymore since I work two jobs and I'm always either coming from or going to a job so I never want to be drowsy or even slightly tipsy. But I grew up in a devoutly Catholic, Italian household where a bottle of wine was on the table every night, and there was no abuse.
