Well, my understanding of it is based on scripture and the history of the time of Jesus. Yours is base on???
Eating food also has harmfull effects on society. Millions of people eat too much and get obese and suffer many problems because of it. Does this mean that Jesus didn't eat?
<b>1 Timothy 5:23</b>
23 No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
The Bible clearly teaches against drunkeness. The Bible also speaks of times when one shouldn't drink wine at all...such as not drinking wine if it causes a brother to stumble etc.
