I've drank one cup of beer in my life that was it (I feel guilty because I can never say "I never drank before in my life"). However years has passed and my thoughts/philosophy on alcohol has changed and I loathe it. People including christian say that "drinking is okay, getting drunk is what'x considered a sin". However I can't accept that. Some of my church friends they have beers from time to time (they're not drunks or anything) but I can't stand them and will never go to any guy get together where I know alcohol may be present. When I see people drinking I cringe, and don't get me started on drunk people.

I'm 26 and will never drink alcohol and will speak against it for the rest of my life. If I was offered a glass of wine for thanksgiving by my parents I would say no. All I drink is water and that's fine for me. Am I being too judgmental here? I know many drink moderately and never hurt anyone but I can't accept Christians like me who drink wine and some who drink beer. I honestly can't take it anymore and sometimes wonder "what do I believe anymore?" I thought we were supposed to be above that. Sorry for the rant but I need to know.

Update:
By the way I don't preach to people about not drinking
Well I don't think you are unreasonable, so long as you don't take it too far, I myself know of one thing I never want in my own house and that's meth, because it can blow up a house that to me is just crazy by comparison to questionable common drugs or alcohol, the Bible says it's good to have authority over one's own household so if you are against a questionable item it's not wrong to voice how you feel concerning your life and own household.
Outside of that opinions as well as Bible verses to stand against such things is alright as well, too judgmental would mean that you seemingly put others down for partaking in such things like alcohol beverages, which while it can be justified Biblically one's concern or warning, it is foolish to pester someone about it to the point of emotional stress, so long as you follow that restriction then I believe you are with in reason😀👍
