Be that as it may, but being drunk is not immoral in and of itself.
Not to mention the statistics associated with heavy drinking in the world today. Devastating to the lives of more people than anything else.
Your arguments are foolish.

Apparently every doctrine which conflicts with your church doctrine is of the evil one. The truth of the matter is that your church is of the evil one because it denies the critical teachings of Christ pertaining to good works and righteousness as essential prerequisites for eternal life in the Kingdom of God. Your teachings are unChristlike and unbiblical. ...[text shortened]... h is a sin. Being merry is not a sin but if it leads to worldliness and materialism it is a sin.
Where's the line crossed? Because drinking a lot will likely lead to getting drunk. And when 'anybody' gets drunk, their likelihood of doing something regrettable is inevitable.
By providing more wine, Jesus seemed to ignore the consequences of what would likely happen to the guests on THAT evening.

It's absolutely true!!
I wonder if you are ultimately just looking for some some sort of religionist absolution to free you of your personal responsibility.

Not sure why this FACT is being disputed.

The only fact you have highlighted sir is that 'some' people can't handle their alcohol.
