-Removed-That's what they literally believe.
As long as they don't get drunk.
I'm pretty sure a lot of alcoholics don't get drunk.
I don't unless I'm drinking something stronger than beer or wine
...and before you guys start calling me an alcoholic please not that the taxes on cigs and alcohol in Australia pretty much rule me out getting drunk AND paying my rent(which I must do no matter what)

In fact it is 2 bedrooms for me and my 11 yr old kid. You simply cant be a single parent, raise your child responsibly and drink with any regularity or intensity.
12+ yrs ago I was drinking like 2 to 4 litres of wine per day, but not getting drunk.
I'm thinking this has to do with my genetic heritage (Hungarian) where my ancestors have been drinking copious amounts for millenia

This is pure Calvinism and unsupported in scripture. The idea that you can do nothing to change your alleged fate and are predestined to burn for an eternity in some kind of fiery hell is repulsive to the senses and incongruous with a loving beneficent and merciful God.
You seem to tout free will and then make the mocking claim that Christians are chosen.
Which is it?

Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.
