Abstaining from alcholicd drink is not just old English Puritan culture. You can see a lot of references both in OT (Jewish Culture) and NT (Christian culture) here are some of the verses on the subject of fermented drinks Proverbs 20:11 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.Proverbs 23:3131 Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly! Proverbs 31:4-54 It is not for kings, Lemuel- it is not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer, 5 lest they drink and forget what has been decreed, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights. Ephesians 5:1818 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 1 Peter 4:33 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do-living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.
I love listening to you, I'm just confused why you don't have more views. Thank you for unpacking these chapters. Blessings to you three
