Our session tried that approach about a year ago, and some people threatened to leave over even having the option of drinking wine allowed to others, and so they relented and went back to grape-juice only.

I think the ones who threatened to leave over that have now found some other excuse to leave that we apparently didn't accommodate them fast enough on, so we are now, apparently, blessed by their absence.

We have often stumbled over trying to keep the weaker brother from stumbling. But, of course, never became stumbling-drunk over it.

Pardon me if I'm having too much fun with this.
