Hmmm......let's get Biblical.

IIRC, Jesus transformed 12 jugs of water into wine at Canaan. Let's assume each earthen jug held 10 gallons...so now we have 120 gallons or 13.3 firkins of wine. And it was the good stuff, not Two Buck Chuck.

So with our 13.3 firkins we have 151 bottles of wine (using the contemporary measure of 750 ml/bottle).

It's pretty clear (God - I'm being sarcastic...) that Jesus, at his mother's behest, was intent on getting many people to partake in debauchery, vandalism, criminal nutballs wandering our streets, and others who cannot string together a coherent sentence.

I would be careful before you would accuse Jesus of getting drunk.

His word specifically forbids drunkenness.

Yet it allows for the use of wine. Wine is actually prescribed in communion, also, as you point out, Jesus made water into wine.

Some of the folks I argue with just seem determined to believe that anyone who opposes drunkenness therefore must want alcohol banned.

I am perfectly in favor of alcohol consumption, up until a person gets drunk.
