It's the wine-bibbers who could really use some help.

Bibs are for babies.

The Bible warns against being a drunk, as does our society.

What is a drunkard to you?

Lost everything?
Sleeps in an alley?
Drinks too much?
Drinks heavily, yet keeps his job?

Please discuss.
The Bible is irrelevant.
Ok, now you can discuss.

That's true. So is there a difference in behavior, in your opinion, between a drunkard and an alcoholic?
A drunkard is someone who likes to be in the state of alcoholic intoxication ( probably fir emotional reasons ) or maybe just likes the way it feels.
An alcoholic is addicted to alcohol on a chemical level and suffers physical withdrawals if they don’t consume alcohol and getting drunk is a side effect for them rather than a goal.

Edit
Should probably add that alcohol problems are very often masking the underlying problem of depression.
