Okay, I couldn't pin that position on you earlier because we were just using "drunk" for everything. You're saying the biblical prohibition is actually about what we would call very drunk, and not about tipsiness.
I take the position that it's any influence at all from alcohol, because I find any other position is arbitrary. I view this just like the abortion argument regarding when the life begins.
At the wedding feast, Jesus turned water into non-alcoholic wine. We know this because it would have been sinful for him to provide alcohol to "well drunk" people, and because the headwaiter remarks on the good taste.

There are numerous passages in the OT where God commands the Israelites to merrily drink their wine. We can presume that God wouldn't command His people to sin, so it stands to reason that, while abuse of alcohol is a sin, alcohol itself is not an evil.
Xavier Morales
That a puritan position. Influence from alcohol happens the moment you drink it. You're saying never drink it at all.

Where's the poem OP, you had better deliver or else…
I know it's been almost 2 months, but I'll bump this thread any way. Maybe OP will fill us in eventually.
If you do happen to read this but still haven't finished the poetry, stay hydrated.
James Harris
Not OP but here is a poem, via drunk me
Rain has come, silence the voice of the pavement. Dripping amongst potted things dripping amongst the weeds wiping away the gone away day. Washing the sin from the stone washing troubles to storm drains.
Be silent, quiet syncopated by tears from above, angels water the gardens, holy holy holy. angels watering the world.
Stain this scene with streetlights, weak light against starlight. Feeling the cool to come, feeling the lips of the clouds. Feeling lips from the water.
Wash away the people, sleeping in houses. Wash away the shadow of lies in alleyways.
Does the end redeem? in the end, do we wash clean?
Julian Lopez
Stop getting drunk. Do not pretend it is God-honoring.
Aiden Cruz
thanks man, constantly aware of that. Every day I know I'm not living up to Jesus I don't know you, but God bless you
