I don't think anyone is "recommending" that anyone else drink alcohol. Some of us are trying to respond to one person who has "recommended" that no Christian drink at all. I personally don't give a rip whether bwsmith drinks. However, I do care about being called unwise on account of statistics and other fear-mongering.
