i do not advocate drinking even in moderation for those reasons.

'Look thou not... when it is...' is a clear command against drinking. Notice it does not say Look thou not after you have tarried near it for a short period. It is a command not to drink when it... the wine... is fermented.
I cannot understand why so many do not see the clear Word written there. Even when one reads the verse with the surrounding passage, it still says 'Look thou not...when it...'. That cannot be changed.
And by writing on this board, or any other board, or in email, snail mail, or anywhere else that the Bible does not teach against drinking one is advocating drinking.
