The saying goes all good things in moderation. No one is saying you should do a certain amount of everything. No doctor is going to subscribe a certain amount of gasoline in your diet. We could say moderation in all that's good, and abstinence in all that's bad, but people have different views on what is good or bad.
Sin is clearly defined in the bible, the source of the word sin, as things that Yahweh disapproves of. Since many people disagree on things Yahweh approves and disapproves of, it's not accurate to say sin is things that are bad. Slavery, genocide, and raping unspoken for virgins is bad, despite Yahweh approving of it. Adults doing whatever they want as long as everyone involved consents is good, despite Yahweh disapproving of many things that we as free thinking beings might care to do.
