All of the things you mention are universally agreed to be sins among Christians with the exception of drinking alcohol (some Christian denominations and churches allow the drinking of alcohol, but drinking to excess is sinful).
Here is what disturbs me. Some of the newer evangelical Christian religions say all of this is ok, all you have to do is believe in Jesus, and say you repent. If this is not what they say, then this is still the way that a lot of people conveniently believe. Convenient religions.

Yes adultery is forbidden. This is written in both the New and the Old Testaments. As to the rest, alcohol is not forbidden but not really recommended either. I do not drink but some do. We are still humans. The same goes for adultery. It is wrong but humans fail and make mistakes. It is called sin.

Gonna agree that there are some confusing things out there.
For the record - I am a Christian, I go to a Christian non denom church. This is what we believe
Dating as a single person is fine, but sex before marriage is not - this includes petting and touching in a sexual way.
Alcohol is OK, as long as it is in moderation (ie you don't drink too much - and you KNOW when you have had too much to drink)
Marriage, put together by God, is for life. Children are to be born in marriage.
Now we also believe that if you are doing these things, you NEED to come to church. You can be forgiven. This does not mean it's OK, it means God's grace is ready to forgive when you sincerely repent.

I don't want to give up what I like doing.
Are you saying you must stop doing what you're doing now, if you become a Christian? That means you know it is wrong. Let me ask you something. If you were to become a Christian, and God was to live in your heart, and you looked back upon your life, would you say to yourself now, "I did a lot of things I wish I hadn't done?" Probably so. The Bible speaks about just such a thing. In Rom. 6:21 it says, "What benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed, for the outcome of those things is death," (NASB). What you are saying is that God will require you to give up certain things that you like to do. Since God only wants what is good and right, and you say you don't want to give up what you are doing, then you are saying you want what is wrong.
Will you let your pleasures get in the way of salvation? Is your life of sin worth an eternity of pain? Jesus said, "What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?" (Mark 8:36).

Jesus lov's wine . There were no joints so he had no other choice.
He knows how to drink it without getting drunk and hangover.
Followers are allowed to drink a little, but not untill u come to 4leged type.
Jusus had a lot before the day he was crusified. He felt strong to carry the heavy wooden cross.
