Not meaning to split hairs, but respectfully for some cultures it IS normal to drink wine every night at dinner. (I've even witnessed a mother allowing her 7 year old son have a thimble full).

The difference is education and raising people/children to understand that alcohol should be an "accompaniment" to a gastro experience - not a means to an end.

It is our hedonistic addictive personalities that allow the demon to enter.
