I haven't had a drink in over three years but I sure as hell miss it.
Even in the Bible it says god made wine to gladden the hearts of men, or some such.
It's a miracle elixir and it has its uses.
Ecclesiastes 10:19-20 KJV
A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

I had an argument with a guy in AA about this. He claimed "wine" in the Bible was non-alcoholic grape juice. Lol. I hate that sort of revisionism. Anyway, he actually wanted to physically fight me over that. No way I'm gonna get my clothes dirty over something so stupid.

Real vodka too... Vodka in a can sounds gross. Vodka in anything is gross. I got quite sick on it in my youth.

Well, after all the effort I put into setting up an office bar, it would be a waste to get rid of it.

True. Today, we are having "Bee's Knees" cocktails. Some of the younger employees seem to love anything involving lemon juice and honey syrup.

A pastor at a church I used to go to over 20 years ago said the same thing. For New Year's Eve services, they would serve "Christian champagne" -- sparkling apple cider.

Yeah, Mormons say the same thing since they forbid alcohol and have to explain wine in the Bible. They say it was just non-fermented grape juice.
The Bible says something about wine gladdens the hearts of men or some such. Grape juice gladdens the hearts of man? I mean, yeah, grape juice is nice. But why even mention it in the Bible if there wasn't some special significance being addressed?

We need to ask the Bible/Christianity experts.

As I’ve said a few times before - I don’t drink alcohol and have never been drunk in my life. I just don’t care for the taste of any alcohol, just like I dislike the taste of carbonated beverages, they burn my throat. And yeah alcohol frequently makes people act stupid - I don’t want that, I already don’t have very good social skills and can be very outspoken, and I think alcohol would just be bad for me. But yeah I just don’t like the taste of alcohol or carbonated beverages, I stick to drinking water, Gatorade, lemonade, and fruit juices.
