drinking a beer or a glass of wine or a drink at my company is a fairly accepted practice and within policy

I had a guy in for an interview from another department within my company. The interview went fine, probably was going to hire the guy, but I was gonna follow up with a few people I know to verify some things so, I didn't turn in a recommendation immediately. Turns out, that the guy sent in a complaint after the interview that people on my team drink during work because he saw the beer refrigerator in our area that is clearly labeled "beer refrigerator". Note that he didn't say anything to me about it he just turned in a complaint, based on religious and personal grounds and made it clear that he expected that to not happen while he's around. I found this out later in the day.

So now, i've decided I'm not going to hire the guy. I don't mind that he doesn't drink, I don't drink myself. However, I have a real problem with the underlying behavior here. Got a problem... don't be all skeevy and run behind people's back to try to force what you want. Second, don't be a jackass and not give consideration to what other potential team members want as well.

Now, I can't very well put down that I'm not hiring him because he complained cuz I'm not supposed to know that... but I CAN run him through the interview loop from hell. So I'm sending him to all the people that find every reason not to hire anyone. The guys done and will never work on this team.
