Interestingly, sobriety, chastity and abstinence are not listed in the core virtues !!
------------
(Proverbs 23:20) Do not be among those who drink too much wine, Among those who gorge themselves on meat,
(Philippians 4:8) Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well-spoken-of, whatever things are virtuous, and whatever things are praiseworthy, continue considering these things.
Abstinence from what? Alcohol is permitted, so to harmonize with the Bible is to condemn gluttony and drunkenness, but not eating and drinking in moderation. Of course there is a need to cooperate with the law of the country.
