Our church frowns on drinking ...

I thought you said this church didn't have a problem with alcohol.

Growing up, I was always taught that drinking was a sin. Looking back, while the theology might be questionable, it wasn't a bad thing to teach a kid. Since my parents didn't drink, I associated alcohol with drunkenness which is essentially bad whatever your beliefs. As I got older, I found that like most vices, the sin is pretty much in the excess. Throughout college, I stuck with soda instead of beer, and found that most people admired my abstinence as long as I didn't look down my nose at them.

What do you think?
