I do not consider drinking a sin 
It is recommended in Scripture under certain circumstances, and also, Jesus would not have miraculously made gallons and gallons of wine for people to drink if drinking were a sin It is just not for me, any more I am allergic

Oh, Rosemary! I am so glad to hear you are making headway, because I know how discouraged you sometimes became after achieving a bit of sobriety and then falling back into it (the "bottle"), even as you were able to receive God's grace around it and forgive yourself. Drinking before I was saved was something I did pretty much every day for many years spanning into double digits. It was only when I cried out to God for help that I, too, lost the desire to use mind and mood altering substances, and I found a lot of support, encouragement, guidance, inspiration, and insight in the rooms of AAA and NA and through working the 12 steps as well Part of my "story" is that I did not even believe in God when I cried out to Him for help, nor was I seeking help to quit drinking and drugging, but help to stop other things that were causing me untold pain.

I believe when one feels they are getting drunk , that is when to stop , because drunken behaviour leads to sin , are mind alters...
The problem with me , I can`t stop till I am sick , just thinking about it makes me feel sick , but O so thankful for our Lord , anyway , do not want to derail the thread
