There is much wisdom in your words:
Maybe, as a culture, this is what's wrong with these people. Drinking promotes friendly interaction of separate classes and genders. It enables forgiveness and co-mingling. Had the Brits not been drinkers, I guess they would still be seething about the Romans.

That was really my first thought. These people don't know how to relax. No wonder they're so uptight. The Bible teaches us that wine in moderation is a good thing, and that life to a man "deprived of wine" is a substandard life.
Obviously the Koran doesn't teach this. I guess that's the net result of Satan re-writing scripture.

I poem by Hilliare Belloc that I have probably misremembered. The elements of communion are bread and wine, bread for nourishment, and wine for divine ecstasy. Eternal Life described as a wedding feast.
