Bismillah
Curious, to me the verse very clearly prohibits the consumption of alcohol. Probably just because u dont want to give up drinking you are not seeing it this way.
I met several Nasarah (Christians) copts here in Egypt who are well aware of this fact and observe it. They even criticise the church for the fact thay they are not supposed to use regular wine during the communion but rather it is supposed to be alcohol free.
