Very good point.
As I see it (and I haven't read all the posts either but) I don't see drinking as a problem, getting drunk is. Alcoholism is like what Jesus said when he was saying that "You can serve only one Master", except He was refering to money - but it works on the same principle. In the Bible it mentions countless times that drunkeness is a sin, just read any chapter of Proverbs and there's some sort of reference to drunkeness being for fools, or something like that.
However, i do appreciate what Daniel says, it may give of the wrong impression if you drink, even the smallest amount. The world is always watching what we do as Christians. So, I would say that drink is
not a sin, but, personally, I wouldn't do it.
Hope it helps.
