Good for the Stomach

~I Timothy 5.23

Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.

I grew up in a home that never had liquor of any sort. Raised Southern Baptist, my mom in particular was very strongly indoctrinated on this. I wonder what people who promote this "liquor will never touch my lips" thinking do with this clear verse. Have they seen so much of the evil of alcohol that they are afraid of it?
