There must have been an epidemic 😷 of sickness sweeping through the early church. The OBVIOUS truth is that they drank wine. Routinely. Kind of like we think of the Italians today.
You have a hang-up about drinking, like you did have about tithing. The drinking issue just doesn’t hit as close to home?

Sure it does, I was raised in an alcoholic home, did it in my youth, saw family trouble in my adult years and know folks that died, dying or are in prison over alcohol.
My wifes father was an alcoholic WW2 hero, that died young from falling and hitting his head as a drunk.
Christians want to portray the #1 vice in the history of the world as "not so bad"?
Thank God the church I first was saved in was against it, because I would have never made it without their abolitionist stance of it.
