Getting drunk is what we are told to not do in Christianity, Christ turned the water into wine, He talked about not putting new wine into old wineskins, we use red wine mixed with water before it is sanctified for the Holy Blood and most Christians broke fast by drinking alcohol! It isn't alcohol that is forbidden it is losing control of your senses, having the mind become numb this can be with anything, drugs, drinking ect.
Also for the etymology of the word alcohol "from Arabic al-kuhul "kohl," the fine metallic powder used to darken the eyelids, from kahala "to stain, paint." The al- is the Arabic definite article, "the."
And then ghoul: from Arabic ghul, an evil spirit that robs graves and feeds on corpses, from ghala "he seized."
The ones who use grape juice also are not ones who are participating in the sacrament but are just play pretend. There are mixed opinions in the Coptic Church on if we should drink or not, some people see it as why take the chance to be tempted to drunkenness and others see it as they have the self control and it is okay. St. Paul's advice is just general advice for anything that might cause someone to sin, if they have a weakness don't be a dick and flaunt it in front of them be mindful of your brothers weakness.
