Wasn’t the Nazarite (sp?) order of Old Testament Israel designed to express total separation to God? The adherent was not to drink any wine, not even the fruit of the grapevine, and was not to shave or cut his hair. He was to remain ceremonially clean - no exceptions.
I think this might be why Jesus is depicted (I cringe at any depiction of Jesus because they are all bound to be idolatrous notions invented by the unclean mind of the depictor) as having long hair. Surely, he was separated to God from the womb. But maybe that was just an Old Covenant device and the New brought a new “style.”

So, Jesus contributed to drunkenness?
There’s nothing in the Wedding Feast text (John 2:1-10) about “drunkenness”. The text does specify “six stone water jugs,” each holding “20-30 gallons”. That would be 120 - 180 gallons of wine.
Were any of your clothes prescribed by scripture either? Or the suits of r telepastor? Or the high hair of the pastoress?
Wow, lovely revisionism...puts your other comments in perspective
