Humans have enjoyed alcohol since the earliest written history and undoubtedly back into the neolithic stone age. Humans enjoy sex and nice dinners too. All these tens of billions of normal people can't all be flawed and defective, and sinful only makes sense in the context of religion. Some of us become addicted to alcohol after drinking enough, often enough, but that is a medical issue, not a moral issue, and can be fixed by abstinence.
