Disagree Oppose wine along with addiction 

Forum: Theological Expressions
Re: Question Wine is Fine (Yesuthass)
Re: Agree Yesuthass is concerned about addiction not wine per say.
Date: 2001, Apr 26
From: Yesuthass <yesuthass@yahoo.com>

Alcoholic beverages have become America’s number one public health problem, costing over $117 billion a year and claiming at least 100,000 lives per year, 25 times as many as all illegal drugs combined.

Christian churches are partly responsible for the alcohol epidemic raging in America today, because since the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, most of them have abandoned their stand for total abstinence, encouraging instead moderation in drinking. Moderation has led millions to become immoderate drinkers.

The gradual abandonment of total abstinence by many well-meaning Christians has been encouraged by the belief that the Bible sanctions a moderate use of alcoholic beverages. This belief has provided millions of Christians with an alleged biblical justification for drinking alcohol

Therefore, I am advocating not only sobrierity but the total abstinence from wine and alcoholic beverages. You cannot seperate drunkeness from alcoholic beverages.
