absolutely not. not close. i'm rated around 1750, which is not good anymore because of a guy named magnus carlsen who revived the chess world around 15 years ago.

As it states to not do anything in excess, thanks agreed all things permissible, so you, I and others get to find out whether or not it is beneficial. Looking deeper than the high, one gets and does ignorant stuff. Like having sex with others wives and are friends with the husband. Not beneficial, to put self in that area and use hey I was drunk.
at least for me, thanks
we the people have become accusers and excuses not good for my soul, thanks

Me, I am drunk on the new wine, having the new wine skin given to handle it
been dry of this world's beer, alcohol for over 40 years now. Now that is nothing to boast about, since I am no better than anyone else
I just agree with God on drinking the new wine over the old. that has freed me from troubles while in troubles. Yes I said that, I see contentment in whatever goes on right now, in perils or not, How?
Trust to God in risen son to eat new food too, drink new water, Living water, the Holy Spirit oil God given for us all to believe, receive and see new, giving up the self righteous attitudes of flesh nature, I know I had and think all have or have had also
I was an Alcoholic for 14 years from age 14 to 28. One day, God revealed to me why I was that way. I saw it as truth and left Alcohol behind me, instantly

The problem was, I had not accepted my youngest sister as dead, she died at age 18, I did not want to accept it or believe it was true, even though I saw here as dead in the casket at age 14
I ran out of the funeral and hid and began drinking too much, became a drunk, a happy go lucky drunk, not facing Sue died not wanting to.
Then when God from within me revealed to me why I was an alcoholic. I saw, heard and quit, been not an alcoholic ever since.
I accepted my sister, Sue as dead, been dry ever since, I am now 68 years of age. I stand in trust to God no matter what or where if my sister was or is saved or not
To me no matter what God is good all the time as good is God all the time

why do people have such a difficult time understanding the drinking of alcohol? no where in the Bible does it say NOT to drink alcohol. it's common sense drinking too much is dangerous. when you feel the 1st sign of light headedness, stop. what's the big deal on something so simple? so many people in this world have zero willpower. NOT A BRAG but i used to drink 30 to 40 alcoholic drinks in the span of 3 to 4 hours & there was NO EFFECT whatsoever. most of my brothers & friends were able to do the same thing. i would also quit drinking for years then have a few here & there. it's no big deal to me, can take it or leave it.

[Pro 23:29-35 KJV] 29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, [when] it moveth itself aright. 32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. 34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. 35 They have stricken me, [shalt thou say, and] I was not sick; they have beaten me, [and] I felt [it] not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
