Here's another one: the Bible forbids habitual drunkenness, but not the occasional indulgence for celebrations such as weddings. There is a night-and-day difference between the angry, mean drunk who abuses his family and the loud, silly partier who's just having a good time with other wedding guests. (And not driving!)
Hey, it's just a theory!

Not all party-ers are just "loud" and "silly."
So should drinking only be forbidden from those who suffer ill effects on their character and morals?
