Alcohol tolerence varies dude.
Thats what temperance and moderation does...it puts the responsibility on the person instead of blaming a substance.
Got a problem with over eating? Maybe you should stay out of the all you can eat Cheese Cake buffet.
A more insidious thing is how many times has the devil whispered into someones ear,"You drank a glass of wine or a beer and you liked it...you must be a alcoholic....sinner."
Thus the person believes that they have failed God and feels condemned and the enemy says,"Well since you're already in sin...might as well do this too..."
All done by convincing someone they crossed a line that God did not place.
What about an examination into the Temperance Movement and how it merged with American Christianity in the early 1900's.
