You need to be careful of violating the 9th commandment by assigning evil motives to your brothers in Christ.
I know you will not like this, but it is precisely because you are a brother in Christ that I am addressing this with you directly. -
1 Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don't argue with them about what they think is right or wrong.
2 For instance, one person believes it's all right to eat anything. But another believer with a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables.
3 Those who feel free to eat anything must not look down on those who don't. And those who don't eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them.
4 Who are you to condemn someone else's servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord's help, they will stand and receive his approval.
And your calling them morons is somehow in accordance? -
Again a two way street, Mr. Moses.
Notice it does not say all believers are weak in the faith, which in reality, prevents you from coming up with one unified rule on the subject.

No one condemns a babe for crying when he poops his pants, but if a grown man? -
Tell the same arresting officer that you don't take drugs, but the marijuana found in your car is for someone else who needs it.
(Same story could go for the cocaine too).
Depending how far you may have gone you may have already disqualified yourself. For example, did you simply have "sex in moderation"--just a few partners? -

That which is measurable is the % of alcohol in your blood system.
Here it used to be .08% But the government is clamping down even harder on driving and drinking. Perhaps eventually they will get to 0.0%. But it has been lowered to .05%. That is fairly low. Not every one with .05% alcohol in their blood will even look remotely drunk. In fact they will have drunk in moderation. But they will still get a ticket. Successive tickets affect insurance, higher ticket fines, and eventually your car being impounded. -
Take also for instance the instructions to Gentiles in Acts 15:20, 29 & 21:25. Yep, that's right, not one mention of drinking. In addition, as previously mentioned, Paul did not rebuke the Corinthians for drinking whatsoever, but for drunkenness at the Lords Supper. He never uttered a word that drinking was wrong. In other words, he had a better grasp of Biblical allowances and truth concerning this than you have.
Your methods are man made and your arguments are purely your own words and thinking, and are not based upon the Word whatsoever, as others and myself have shown you time and again. -

Why because they don't stop with one drink so where alcoholism is rampent they suppress it with church mandates. Makes sence ...but once again its a mechanism of that church...nothing in scripture. -
