What different concerns did the Calvinists have about public drinking and why?

Calvinism is a reformed sect of Protestantism directed by John Calvin. It broke away from Roman Catholicism and instead believed in the word of God.

Traditional Calvinists dissociate themselves from the pleasures of life.

1. The Calvinist teachings defy the idea of drinking for pleasure. However, the act of drinking for religious purposes was acceptable.
2. Wine religiously refers to the blood of Christ, which is why it has religious significance.
3. Public drinking was acceptable for spiritual purposes.
