I don't find it necessary to think of drinking as some moral issue at all.
I have made the conscious choice not to drink based on my experiences - other people are free to make the choice to drink and that doesn't bother me - its none of my business.
but...where I do differ a little from you is that I can't see drinking - or drinking as we'd define it: drinking to get wasted - as fun anymore.
Whenever I see drinkers worse for wear I really find it sad & not amusing at all.
Maybe I'm projecting - but I see a real unhappiness there
