Thank you for catching that. I've been away from this thread for a few days.
The beginning of the post were my personal thoughts. The second part was from GotQuestions. I apologize for not posting the link.
But the fact remains, you can't refute the point.

"""Those who oppose the drinking of alcohol, in any quantity, argue that Jesus would not have turned the water into wine, as He would have been promoting the consumption of a substance that is tainted by sin. In this understanding, alcohol itself is inherently sinful, and consumption of alcohol in any quantity is sin. That is not a biblical understanding, however. Some Scriptures discuss alcohol in positive terms. Ecclesiastes 9:7 instructs, “Drink your wine with a merry heart.” Psalm 104:14-15 states that God gives wine “that makes glad the heart of men.” Amos 9:14 discusses drinking wine from your own vineyard as a sign of God’s blessing. Isaiah 55:1 encourages, “Yes, come buy wine and milk…” From these and other Scriptures, it is clear that alcohol itself is not inherently sinful. Rather, it is the abuse of alcohol, drunkenness and/or addiction, that is sinful (Ephesians 5:18; Proverbs 23:29-35; 1 Corinthians 6:12; 2 Peter 2:19). Therefore, it would not have been a sin for Jesus to create a drink that contained alcohol.""""
At the end of the day, having an alcoholic beverage in and of itself isn't a "sin". Having a glass of wine while cooking dinner isn't a "sin". Having a glass of Champaign on New Year's Eve isn't a "sin". Having a cold beer over grilled hamburgers and hotdogs on the 4th of July isn't a "sin". Having a glass of wine with the lights turned down low after a romantic dinner with one's spouse isn't a "sin".
However, drinking until drunken is a sin and is condemned repeatedly in Scripture.
