 I'm simply saying don't use the bible as ure backup for this opinion because it doesn't back you up. Drunkenness is a sin. Alcohol consumption isnt.

 It does back it up, actually. There are passages that talk about being sober (and not just in mind). Sure, a sip of wine at Christmas or other festivities isn't bad, but nine times out of ten, alcohol consumption goes far beyond that.
