Bible says that the sky has windows for rain. So what.
Well, the forum is for Christian Philosophy and Ethics. Secular humanism has more of a place in the non-Christian forum.

One can be a Christian without reading Bible literally, deal with it. Even a better Christian, actually.

Sure one can. But it doesn't mean I need to listen to what they say. It's just personal opinion, only applies to their individual situation.

Do some research about alcohol, health and disadvantaged communities, then. Your opinion will be more informed.

I'm aware of that research. I only object to the teaching of others to not drink alcohol in a Christian setting. If you were to say the same things in a subforum in a non-Christian setting, there would be no issue at all.

Christians get sick, obese etc., too.

I have heard that the word "wine" is sometimes mistranslated as grape juice(without alcohol) in some sentences from the original Greek. I don't really know exactly what the real context is. But the new testament does say being a drunkard is a sin(1 Cor 6:10), so after some events in my life I decided in my 20s that I will not drink alcohol again. And that has stayed true pretty much.

(There has been foods that contained some levels of alcohol that I did not know about, but that's about it)

Alcohol is ONLY an issue if consumed in large quantities. Otherwise it has its benefits....

My master always makes sure i have a bowl once a week! It helps me to focus on my novel i am writing.

Every drop of alcohol is carcinogenic. Whether you will get cancer or not depends on many other factors in your life. But the risk gets higher and higher the more you drink alcohol. No dosage is safe.

doesnt wine hurt the bod which is the temple of God? And yet Jesus turned water to wine? why
Wine, throughout the Bible, is often used as a means of joy. Moderation in all things!

Except for the people who got cancer, dementia or destroyed liver from it.
Moderation is ok, excess of anything can be harmful.

No, moderation is not OK, this is old "wisdom" proven false. Every drop of alcohol is carcinogenic, it attacks your mitochondria etc.
