Some people "feel the effects" after one sip. Does that mean they are "tipsy"?
Is "sober minded" in context actually referring to alcohol? No, it is not. It only appears once in the KJV, in Titus 2:6, and in context, it means "having demonstrated good judgment".
If you want to make a definitive statement regarding alcohol, use definitive terms.

people dont understand that wine is just pressed grapes. You can have non-alcoholic wine
anyone whos worked in a vineyard understand this.
old wine is made of pressed fermented grapes...OLD grapes.
new wine is freshly pressed NEW grapes. It hasnt been fermented.
wine is just liquid made from grapes. to infer its ALWAYS alcoholic is to actually twist the original meaning.
when jesus said to drink wine he wasnt meaning it had to be ALCOHOLIC. He referred to it as fruit of the vine. The wine respresenting blood was in reference to its colour.
'strong drink' was more likely to refer to alcohol content of any kind of drink, not necessarily wine.
as an example unleavened bread is still bread its made of the same things as bread just without the leaven or yeast
leavened bread contains yeast.
both are BREAD.

None of this is correct. New wine is alcoholic wine that has a lower percentage of alcohol. Older wine has higher.
Pressed grapes into juice is not wine.
I have a small grape vine on my property. They are wine grapes. They are very different from the grapes that are sweet and from the store. Wine grapes are usually bitter, with huge seeds and a very thick skin. The juice is awful. They are only suitable for making wine. Ppl like you have no idea what you are talking about.
Everything should be measured by the standard of sonship and being led by the Spirit. Drunkenness is when 1) you cannot respond to the Spirit or hear Him and 2) when you cannot be self-controlled. The amount of alcohol required for this level of impairment will be different for each believer.
