The scriptures clearly teach that drunkenness is sin (Gal 5:21) and that drunkards will not inherit the kingdom of heaven (1Cor 6:10).
My question is what is the biblical standard for drunkenness or being a drunkard? Is this a relative matter of conscience? Is it based on the testimony of others? Or is it based on the manner in which one behaves?
....For instance, two men consume the same amount of wine, ale, or strong drink. One acts a fool, perhaps publically. The other remains reserved and polite. Are both equally in sin?
