I haven't consumed an alcoholic beverage since 1997. The only exception might be Nyquil, which I call 'Baptist bourbon,' but I don't consider it a beverage and only use it for medicinal purposes.

Your third temple has already come, and He is coming again!
Jesus Christ is the ultimate, eternal, third physical temple—the Holy of Holies—where God's righteousness dwells. No other righteous temple will exist. Yet, a counterfeit temple, led by the Antichrist, a false Jewish messiah, will briefly appear, hosting the abomination of desolation, where he will falsely claim divinity.
John 2:19-21 KJV Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body.
Matthew 24:15 KJV When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
A belief that isn't rooted in faith is no better than the beliefs held by demons. Jesus distinguishes between saving belief and entertaining belief, and sadly, many people hold only to the latter.
John 2:23 KJV Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
John 2:24 KJV But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
John 2:25 KJV And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

We are forced to dig through a pile of lies to get the truth these days.
X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, wife, or goods. (Ex. 20:17)
