You may need to find another comparison then. My point was only to show that you cannot argue wine -> drunkenness, and food -> gluttony, as if they were on a par. One you cannot do without but is necessary to sustain life whilst the other is an option. Also, one should be careful to provide the complete biblical picture of alcoholic beverages and not merely focus on parts which legitimate the use of the fruit of the vine within certain contexts. Blessings!
