Given this list, why do I so often hear that any consumption of alcohol is sinful and that the tea-totalers\anti-alcohol\no drinking religious movement is a big part of this.
Of note: I noticed in Germany that even Evangelical Christians enjoyed beer and wine like Germans tend to do. None of them drunkards, but none thought drinking beer and wine or even spirits to be evil or sinful in any way.
That seems to be an American thing.
I even had an argument with a tee totaler aunt that said that wine in the bible was actually just juice.
Most Christians I know will have a beer or two, likewise a glass of wine.
I tend to think it’s the religious crowd who abstain completely.
As a boy I attended a small Pentecostal church, and that question came up in Sunday school. We were told that since drunkenness is a sin we could easily avoid that kind of sinning by never imbibing alcohol. Some projected that to extremes and became the teetotalers.
For Communion they served us grape juice, children and adults alike.
There was almost no teetotal movement in America until about the 1840s. After that it came mostly in reaction to Irish immigrants.
