If I enjoy wine, why should I substitute it for something else? I don't get what is so inherently evil about alcohol that I need to find an alternative immediately or why it would be beneficial for me to find an alternative.

This was partially in response to this:

"And the buddhist in my fully appreciates a moderation / middle way approach...But what is that glass of wine getting you? Is it strictly a taste thing? Is it the antioxidants? My guess is there are comparable things that would be you those same positive results of a glass of wine."
