I had wondered just WHY you were being so adamant about NOT drinking alcohol now.
I have a strong position on that because God got my attention, and showed me through the Bible and wise Scriptural counselors just how adamant He is about the issue.
Why do you think Satan's servants tried to get him seen as a wine-bibber. He was not, but in the course of reaching to people who desperately needed salvation, he attended events where alcoholic beverages were served.
But that doesn't say he was a social drinker of any kind, nor that He would make himself an example of it, or pop a cap with buddies. Only a fool would try to defend alcohol as a beverage ingredient, but there are many such fools. What I learned well is:
Alcohol is not your friend, and a tee-totaller is not your enemy.
