Too many Sister Bertha Better-than-yous here. One thing that really sticks out to me (raised Baptist but now attending Catholic Mass with my RC husband and kids) is that Protestants will always pass judgement and say something like, “Don’t get me wrong, I’ve sinned too!” Catholics will say something like, “Hey, I’m a sinner.” Our church’s softball team always jokes that after the game we go play a few innings at St. Twines, the dive across the street from the fields. All the kids and wives come over and we have a blast. The Prostestant teams are mortified that we openly drink on the patio after a church league game. We suspect they thoroughly imbibe behind closed doors.

Some drink some don’t. Some do it publicly, some privately, some not at all.
Let each “be fully convinced” in his own heart.
I have no problem if someone drinks or not. The Holy Scriptures only condemn drunkenness.
Truth doesn’t depend on whether or not you consume alcohol.
