-Charismatic practices such as speaking in tongues.
-KJV-Onlyism
-Strict TULIP double predestination Calvinism
-Extreme complementarianism and prescribed gender roles.
-Complete ban on alcohol consumption in addition to drugs.
1. I believe that the gift of tongues can be legitimate, but is often misused.  The gifts of the Holy Spirit absolutely do apply today, though.  I don't have the gift of tongues myself, though.

2. Definitely not, and I've never heard an argument for it.  I do have friends who prefer more word-to-word translations like the ESV, NASB, or NKJV, but most seem to find the KJV to be impossible to comprehend.

3. I lean against Calvinism but also think that theologians smarter than I have debated this for centuries and haven't come to a conclusion.  I would say that God can use both free will and predestination to a degree.

4. The Bible is complementarian and does say that men and women were created for different roles in the church and family.  I wouldn't say that it forbids women from leaving the house, though, like you presented the idea of complementarianism.

5. Total abstinence from alcohol and drugs is my preference, but only drunkenness, not alcohol in moderation, is actually sinful.  I prefer to avoid putting myself in that spot though.
