Drinking, sex before marriage, and drugs is a moral issue and engaging in them is immoral

I am going to give definitions for some key terms in this debate, followed by a correlation between the three definitions provided, and ending with an argument using a combination of the three definitions in regards to the topic at hand. Since my opponent did not provide sources for any of his definitions, I will provide a generic source definition of three key terms. Moral: of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). Judgment: a formal utterance of an authoritative opinion (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). Perceive: to regard as being such (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). To begin, my stance on this issue will be purely based on the idea of perception. As previously defined, one's perception is what they regard as being such. In layman's terms, this means one's interpretation of an idea, image, smell, sound, etc. Taking this idea into consideration, one can not perceive another's perception. Another's perception may influence one's perception, but one can not hold the exact same perception that another has. My opponent argues that drinking alcohol, premarital sex, and usage of drugs may be considered to display negative characteristics of a person, but does not pertain to the idea of being "morally wrong," as it were. However, if one were to dissect the idea of where a "judgment," as my opponent stated in his argument, comes from, he or she will find that judgments come from one's interpretation of a situation. To scientifically touch a bit on the idea of morals can be a bit tricky, so I will only give my opinion on the idea of morals. Morals that we see in today's society come from a couple sources: family and peers; basically society in general. Because of this, many humans grow up and the ideas of society are instilled into their minds. When a human becomes older and is able to become more objective in regards to the ideas of morals, they then shape that new found knowledge and apply it to what they were conditioned to know when they were growing up. A person's moral fiber, though usually strong, is not completely standstill, meaning it can be changed through many means. In relation to the debate, as I stated before a moral is considered to be of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior. Since one's morals are technically ideas in their minds in regards to how they view a situation, and since I defined perception, in layman's terms, as one's interpretation of an idea, image, smell, sound, etc. , then one can obviously see that morals are based on one's perception, since a moral is technically an idea instilled in a person. Therefore, based on the logic I presented, my opponent contradicts himself in saying: "It may be a judgement issue but not a moral one," because technically judgments are directly correlated with morals. Point in case: Technically when one makes a judgment of another, based on how they perceive it they are assessing their moral fiber in regards to the situation at hand, thus they use their moral judgment to formulate an opinion. You cannot make a judgment as to whether something is good or bad without morals coming into play. Also, based on your decisions, people perceive you as to how your actions accord to their moral fiber. If you perform an action, like drinking alcohol, premarital sex, or the usage of drugs, even if it is just engage in them as my opponent states, others will place a judgment on you as to whether or not you are a good or bad person. Thus, as the title of the debate suggests, "Drinking, sex before marriage, and drugs is a moral issue and engaging in them is immoral" because people make judgments based on their perception through a filter of morals, and I'm sure many people around the United States, or the world, would consider the aforementioned actions to be immoral, thus they are considered immoral. Alternatively, they are also considered fine morally, because many people consider the aforementioned actions to be just fine. So therefore, they can be both. Do I perceive them to be immoral? No. But that is not the debate at hand. ;)
