It is one thing to not like nor enjoy nor wish to drink any alcohol.
The problem begins when Christians begin to preach against things they don't personally like. They are no longer an example of the believer, but now set themselves up as The Example of the believer.
They raise their own personal standards to that of Law of Christ. They add to the Commandment of God their own rule of life. They become judges of other believers' consciences and Lawgivers.
And we know this is what someone is doing, by not reading their rule in Scripture. Only God can define sin and make law, not man. When man does so, as God, then they rise up above all others, as God (Rev 11). They transform themselves into the 'Head' of the body, supplanting Jesus as the true and only Head of His church.
The slipper slope is alcohol. Show me a person who declares alcohol to be a sin, and I'll show you a person who declares other things to be sin, that God never said.

No. Preachers of God's righteousness are supposed to tell the people what God says sin is...
