Romans
14:20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offence.
14:21 [It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
14:22 Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith: for whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin.
Some probably suppose that this is talking about grape juice as well?

The way I look at it each one of us on this site is unique and real. It is a family.
Occasionally posting something that I consider amusing is part of the fellowship that I enjoy. I have written many posts since I have been a member and I have made it a point to let others see me for who I really am and I look for the same for others to occasionally share a little bit about themself.
Once you know who the players, who they are and what they are about, you have a better idea where they are coming from in a particular post. I really enjoy interacting with the peeps. It's what I do.

I think you are 'gravely' mistaken:
1Cor 6:10: "Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
Joel 1:5: "Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth."
But, it is written:
Ps 69:12: "They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards."
1Cor 6:10: "Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
Joel 1:5: "Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth."

The Pharisees falsely accused Jesus of drinking alcohol, because he was around a lot of sinners.

The Nazarite vow did not apply to people just because they lived in Nazareth...
It was a vow taken by those who wanted to dedicate themselves to the Lord for a time.
The requirements of the Nazarite vow are found primary in the Old Testament
passages of Numbers 6:1-21, Judges 13:5-7 & 16:17, plus Amos 2:11-12.
