I have never seen anyone who has genuine encounter with Jesus for salvation arguing that alcoholic drink is not a sin.

Some years back, I had argument with someone who claimed alcoholic drink is not a sin as long the person is not drunk. He quoted from Bible that Jesus turned water to wine and all that. But later the Spirit of God told me not to waste time to argue with people of such, that "Arguing with people who say alcoholic drinks are not sin will never save them, and that when they are genuinely saved they will not argue about such thing"

People who says a child of God can still drink alcohol moderately is not yet saved in Christ, no need to argue with them, because that will not save them. What they need is salvation in Jesus, when that happens they will not have problem with dropping anything that has to do with alcohol.

A saved person in Christ does not take alcoholic drink, not even moderately, those who do take it are mere religious Christians.

Someone who is saved in Christ has nothing to do with alcoholic drink, and an alcoholic drinking person has no salvation in Christ.

Is it a sin to take local palm wine?

If we are to go by this your argument, it means His Holiness 'The Pope" is not a 'child of God' because the pope himself drinks beer.

Yes.

Taking alcohol could be a sin.

Albeit, The Bible tells us, through apostle Paul, that we should take little wine.

1Timothy5:23: "Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses."


Many would go ahead to misinterprete this verse for their own advantage.
