Part of the reason to make sure to say the money is also for beer money, is to smoke out if there is false religious beliefs at work.
Anyone that does not recognize that comments years ago on 'drinking' are part of nanny state social control added to texts, does not understand the spiritual. They were for a time years ago, from a ruling group, to make governance easier for authority, not because everyone should not drink. Why not take away anything anyone does that some might abuse.
The funny thing, or maybe sad, is anyone that says drinking is a sin, can have anything that anyone else does wrong in their group applied to them from the acts of a few people. If you say because some person is mean when he drinks, that means I should not drink, then some guy that is a terrorist when saying he is Muslim, means nobody should be able to say they are Muslim. See how silly that is. People know so little of what they believe.
Case Sighted: Muslims blamed for terrorism because of a few people, people don't see that as rules applied back when it actually fits that case.
That does not mean some people should not drink, nor that drinking may not be the best choice. And even educations about how drinking is not always the best choice in life makes sense if truthful. However saying it is a sin, is just an opinion that can not be defended unless it can be shown that it is so detrimental to a society that it has to be removed from everyone, above any added joy it can add to society in moderation.
By that logic lock everyone to their desk and take away all joy that is not productive to society, the prison society. Guess what, societal entities like that idea, as do authoritarian systems that treat people like resources. It really is simple to see, it is a societal structure for the ease of a few.
Then for the real comedy, in secret the leaders of many of those groups do those very things, and say it is only for the rulers. It is nothing about spirituality, or even law actually.
However, if someone does not drink, because they think it honors God, it would, but how would it honor God telling other people what they have to do that are not under those thoughts, and do not cause social problems?
