If a brother has a beer, a glass of scotch, shot of whiskey, a fine bourbon, or a nice brandy with dinner or before bed in his own home and doesn't get drunk, he's done no sin.
If a brother knows doing so could easily cause him to fall into a drunken binge...it's definitely a sin.
Likewise, if a brother drinks in front of a weaker brother without regard for that brother's convictions, that too is a sin.

At the risk of sounding like the folks I have criticized in the past, I would have to talk to my Pastor about this, first.
But then maybe not. My Pastor wasn't there when the Lord convicted me when I drank my last Guinness-- it didn't even taste the same.
