Quite interesting the biblical truths you put there didn’t consider the good side of alcoholic drinks.

Drinking is not the problem, drunkenness is...and the difference here is self control or lack of it.

Anyways, God included strong drinks as part of things the Israelites could drink/consume as part of their tithe;


Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29;
22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year.

23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always.

24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away),

25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose.

26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice.

27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own



Religious zealots will see Deuteronomy 14 v 26 and pretend it’s not there. Anyways wetin concern me?

If drinking is bad because it leads to drunkenness, you can also conclude eating is bad since it leads to gluttony too.
