Boasting about it is particularly stupid.
Parading your stupidity on a public forum tells me more about you that I cannot repeat here.
Fornication is a sin?
Do I take on a more favourable look on this forum for you now that I tell you that I don not , nor intend to, fornicate?

Actually, I sometimes encountered the 'divinely-inspired' rapist's charter (that's my characterization of it) back when I was a Christian too and it has good traction here in Indonesia where misogyny and domestic violence are appallingly prevalent. Nowadays, the online environment can bring you face to face with it at any time. The internet empowers people and their ideas, but does so indiscriminately. 😕

Christ will look on you favourably if you refrain from all kinds of sin and love your neighbour as yourself. From what you have said in the last few years I am pretty sure you are very capable..🙂
Drugs and alcohol is not an issue unless it leads to addiction and other evils. I know a lot of people who can control their use of these things.

1. Yes ..drugs are found in the bible in the Greek word pharmakeia which is found only a few places (Galatians 5:20; Revelation 9:21; 18:23) in the New Testament. Nevertheless, it refers to the use of drugs in the context of witchcraft, which is clearly condemned.
2. Yes
3. Not in moderation
Those are easy, but the more difficult ones are the ones not spoken of.
It is sinful to not praise God, to not be thankful, to not do what is right, it is sinful to be downcast, unbelief is sinful, and many many more which most people are unaware of. That is why it is impossible to be sin free and why we must rely on the righteousness of Christ as our own righteousness which he purchased on the cross on our behalf.

As a matter of interest, do you think Jesus supplied alcohol to people who were not drinking "in moderation" at the wedding in Cana, and if so, could it not be interpreted as meaning that drinking excessively might be condoned at special events or when marking important occasions?

The only things that are sinful are:
1. Not recycling
2. Being bigoted against anyone except conservatives or Christians or Jews.
3. Not believing that carbon emissions are destroying the earth.
4. Polluting.
5. Driving an SUV.
6. Owning a gun
7. Suggesting that any behavior is sinful except the above.

Originally posted by checkbaiter I have no way of knowing
Isn't it matter of interpretation? And if you say you have no way of "knowing" this, then what do any of your interpretations amount to, if not supposedly" knowing" things?

No it's not a matter of interpretation. You are assuming quite a bit. It is a matter of assumptions on your part.
You are free to assume whatever you like.
What things are sinful?
