Nelson, I live in a Bible Belt too, (as well as a kilt belt) which I think is great!
Many Christians I know will drink in moderation, some abstain.
Of those that abstain some are happy to meet in a pub (away from the Bar perhaps or a seperate room), a few would not "darken the door".

Personally, I'm more offended by tobacco smoke than anything else because I have no choice but to breath the foul stench (or leave).
You could remind your Christian Bravehearts that Jesus turned water into wine and that the Bible allows wine and only forbids drunkeness.

Israel was given by God "oil to make the face shine and wine to make the heart merry".

Or, that the apostle Paul counselled the church "not to judge..another brothers' food or drink".

Or that Jesus was a friend of publicans and sinners.
Or that paul said we have "freedom" to eat and drink, so long as that freedom is not used as an occasion for sin.

I think you should find that most Christians would not have a huge problem, and if they have reservations that may well be overcome by the beauty of good celtic music.

Hope I've covered everything without sounding 'pushy', I do respect my brethren that choose not to drink.

and stop pinching my signature! :mrgreen:
