As a 'Christian', If you take 3 bottles of Gulder in a Saturday Party and NOT get Drunk, have you Sinned?🤔🤔

In the Church on Sunday, Are you QUALIFIED to lead Praises/Worship
or Take Holy Communion or do Responsorial Psalms, If it is a Catholic Church?🤨

HOW OR WHEN EXACTLY IS TAKING ALCOHOL A SIN?

If a 'Christian' Lady takes ONLY one bottle of let say Smirnoff Ice and becomes Tipsy, Has she Sinned?

Drinking directly from the bottle is what makes you sin. If you make use of cups, it is not a sin.

Many scriptures have explained that.

It's not a sin until you can't control yourself after drinking it.

So as a JW, It is okay to take like 2 bottles of Heineken b4 going for Preaching?

Drinking alcoholic beverages is not and can never be a sin {Deuteronomy 14:26} however moderation is very important {Ecclesiastes 10:17} because your sense of judgement may be lost.

For instance if you want to go preaching and you take alcoholic beverages there are many people who easily perceives through their sense of smell and whatever you say at that time will be taken as the words of a drunkard no matter how scripturally accurate you may be so it will be wrong to send such a wrong signal.
Secondly alcoholic beverages makes the heart of humans joyous {Psalms 104:15} it will be somehow hard to change such joyous mood and when case is raised you will take it lightly due to the influence of alcoholic beverage.
Lastly it's inappropriate for a Christian to be known as a regular drinker in a joint for people watching will never believe you don't get drunk as they often see you drinking alcoholic beverages always! Luke 7:31-34

So people may misjudge you due to being frequently seen with whom or what they detest therefore for their sake a Christian will not always drink publicly! 1Corinthans 9:19-23

Cup henceforth.

Don't act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, let the Holy Spirit fill and control you. (Ephesians 5:17-18)

Phil.4.5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

1Pet.4.3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

It is very clear na, EXCESS wine is wrong, if you take it in moderation and it doesn't control you and make you hurt and harm others you have not sinned

How about when a Person decide to Take just a Pint and suddenly and Unfortunately get Intoxicated.

Is that a Sin?

if he falls asleep then why should that be a sin, who has he wronged? God or his neighbors?

But if he becomes intoxicated and starts revealing secrets, abusing others and causing harm to others, obviously he has done wrong even though he was under the influence of alcohol of which he willing took.

So he ought to APOLOGIZE and SEEK FORGIVENESS from everyone who hurt through his actions and carelessness.

Did Jesus take Alcohol?

At the Wedding at Canaan he turned Water to Wine, he could have taken a glass or two.

And the wine might have been a little bit Alcoholic.

Jesus was a Nazarite.

So there's no how he would have taken Alcohol, or His wine be made of Alcohol.
