Anyway...I'll take your explanation and raise you...if its a humanity issue, then don't we have to address it a bit more firmly? Instead of making allowances for our humanity? If humanity in general has a problem being self-disciplined enough to practice moderation, then aren't we treading on dangerous ground when we ask for moderation?
You seem to be contradicting yourself, stating on one hand overindulgence is a humanity issue, and then on the flip side implying that Europeans, "wine drinkers", are not indulgent? If it is indeed a humanity issue, then all cultures deal with it.

And you still fail to understand drinking in moderation is a biblical principle.
We can flip this one a million ways .... whether it's not your conviction or not ....
It's permissible under any context or historical era.
