There is a feeble argument often attempted to make a significant difference between an elder’s qualification to be “not given to wine” (1 Tim. 3:3) and a deacon’s 
qualification to be “not given to much wine” (1 Tim. 3:8). Can a deacon drink a little, while an elder is to totally abstain? Here’s the real question: if the Bible condemns something in excess in one passage, does that mean that God is permitting that same behavior in moderation?
God says, “Do not be overly wicked” (Ecc. 7:17). Would moderately wicked be ok? God says, “Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness” (Jas. 1:21). Would moderate filthiness that doesn’t overflow be ok? God says, “They think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot” (1 Pet. 4:4). Would moderate rioting be ok? God says of false teachers, “…having eyes full of adultery” (2 Pet. 2:14). Would eyes half-full of adultery be ok?
You get the point, and it’s obvious, isn’t it! The English might appear to make a “quantity” difference, but God was not, is not and does not! He clearly said to every one of us (elders, deacons, all Christians young and old), “Abstain” (1 Pet. 2:11)!
