ALCOHOL

It was wine. Tee totalers play with the language to discourage consumption. Which the bible never forbids. We're admonished against drunkenness and reference Paul's statement on convictions.

All things are lawful [that is, morally legitimate, permissible], but not all things are beneficial or advantageous. All things are lawful, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life].

If a believer feels consumption is wrong they are free to abstain. But they aren't granted equal liberty to impress there conviction on another. In like fashion, if a brother is aware of their position they ought to abstain in their presence out of love (not to cause them to stumble). It's a courtesy not a declaration of agreement.
