Teach it the way the Bible truly says? I like that...
Proverbs 23:31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
Keep it in context.
Pro 23:29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes?
Pro 23:30 Those who linger long over wine, Those who go to taste mixed wine.
Pro 23:31 Do not look on the wine when it is red, When it sparkles in the cup, When it goes down smoothly;
Pro 23:32 At the last it bites like a serpent And stings like a viper.
Pro 23:33 Your eyes will see strange things And your mind will utter perverse things. (NASB)
The passage is against being drunk, not against a single drink.
And again, we must teach the whole counsel of God. You cannot build theology or draw a line on a moral issue based on one verse when God spoke on it in several passages.
Col 2:16 Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--
Col 2:17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.
Col 2:18 Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind,
Col 2:19 and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God.
Col 2:20 If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as,
Col 2:21 "Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!"
Col 2:22 (which all refer to things destined to perish with use)--in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men?
Col 2:23 These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence. (NASB)
Rom 14:1 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.
Rom 14:2 One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only.
Rom 14:3 The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.
Rom 14:4 Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
Rom 14:5 One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.
Rom 14:6 He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God. (NASB)
Further, you should know that weddings were not just a couple of hours, they were several days. The people were eat, drink to merriment (even getting drunk), and party for several days. Jesus' first public miracle was to make water into wine. Not only was it wine, but it was very good (tasty and strong). You can read about it in John 2.
We told to not be drunkards. We are not told to abstain. There is a difference.
We ought not to draw lines on issues that God Himself did not draw.
