The (((synnagogue of satan))) is the enemy of Christendom, Christ and the Church fathers warned everyone, but heretics who just wanted to "get along" with evil concocted new "doctrines" to justify tolerating wickedness.

How can alcohol be the "devil's elixir" when Jesus's first miracle was changing water to wine? How can it be evil when communion (the eating of Christ's body and drinking his blood) requires eating bread (Christ's body) and drinking wine (Christ's blood)? Christians didn't drink grape juice to do communion for thousands of years. Fruit juice is a modern invention, because fruit juice naturally ferments. We have to stop that fermentation with other chemicals to prevent fermentation and create shelf stable fruit "juice". Any fruit that is juiced will naturally ferment. However, you may argue that many past wines weren't nearly as strong as modern ones, but it was still considered alcohol. As Christians, we're specifically commanded to drink wine, alcohol made from fermenting grapes. The very last supper Christ had with his disciples was bread and wine, which he blessed and commanded them (and us) to consume, in remembrance and honor of Him.
Scripture condemns Christians for becoming drunkenly, to partake in earthly pleasures in abundance (i.e. hedonism), and forbids drinking wine in specific occasions, but it condones the consumption of alcohol. It even says that there is wine in Heaven.
Psalm 104:14-15
> You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen man's heart.
Ecclesiastes 9:7
> Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.
Matthew 26:29
> "I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.”
