The post to which I was responding called alcohol "evil". It's not a big step to draw the inference that the poster is at least tacitly implying that the use of alcohol is therefore wrong.
Admittedly the misuse of alcohol causes tremendous harm. However, there are clear benefits to the responsible use of alcohol. Thus, IMHO, alcohol is not evil.
Rather it's proof there is a God, and that he wants us to be happy.
