I’m not sure how central this is to your point, but for what it’s worth I think you may be overestimating the degree to which I’d disagree with normal judgements about what’s wholesome. I would also basically never describe experimenting with drugs as wholesome. (Maybe I’d make an exception if someone was travelling to a country where they were legal in order to experiment with things that might relieve pain from a chronic condition or something; of course it would depend on the details of their attitude.)
I think that it wouldn’t be unusual, though, to describe it as more wholesome to have got drunk one or two times in college than to have been too straight laced ever to do that. (I say, as someone who has never got drunk.)
Overall I feel like I agree with the normal senses of unwholesome and add some extra things which I regard as unwholesome, which normally might not register. Then in some circumstances the least-unwholesome action on my account will be one that involves some of the regular sense of unwholesomeness.
