“Everything in moderation, including moderation.” It's alright to roll on the floor laughing just don't roll down the stairs.

I feel for the all the victims of drunken drivers a close personal friend of mine died on the bumper of a drunk driver. The Church needs to look at whether they should make someone a bishop that has addiction problems. I know that St. Paul counseled Timothy to take a little wine in his water for his stomach ailment, but he also said that overseers (bishops) should be: 1 Timothy 3:2English Standard Version (ESV)

2 Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,..." I am not against her drinking or that Justice Ginsberg had some wine at dinner prior to the State of the Union. But anyone drinking should take a cab if they don't have a sober driver. That was always me- I do drink but I draw the line at riding in a car with an impaired driver.
