Intend to go to a bar to drink enough to forget- or to loosen your moral compass enough for a hook up, is sin the moment you leave the house with that intent.
Going for a nice shepards pie, cheesecake, and 2 fingers of really nice single malt scotch, is called having dinner. And because this place is a nice respectable pub.....just fine. No intent to do an evil, dangerous or disreputable thing is there.

Amen.
This fundamentalist lunacy has us condemning brethren over the mere consumption of a substance... and not the sin of the individual who abuses the substance.
