      Religion aside, splitting (black and white thinking) isn’t a well -rounded perspective.

        Idk, I just heard those verses from someone and always thought it was not allowed lol, there is definitely more nuance though, it’s not really a direct contradiction but eh i am too lazy to think about the reason, you shouldn’t be drinking at all anyway imho, it’s literally poison, there are other ways to ‘have fun’

          Yes, it is poison. Anyway, Jesus is supposed to have turned water to wine. Perhaps it is gluttony/greed that’s the issue. Any medicine has harmful side -effects, especially in excess of that precise dose, usually calculated on mg/kg basis. That’s why we hear “a drink is one 5 oz serving of non-fortified wine, 1.5 oz 80 proof liquor, one 12 oz beer with (pre-heightened) regular alcohol content.”
