It is clear from countless ancient texts and paintings (such as this one of an old man drinking beer through a long straw from Egypt, c. 1350 B.C.E.) that beer was a common -- and even celebrated -- part of everyday life in both Egypt and Mesopotamia. But what about Israel? Despite its apparent absence from the Bible in most modern translations, author Michael Homan argues that the ancient Israelites also produced and drank beer, much like their Near Eastern neighbors.

Although it would not surprise me to find that they drank beer I think that there are doing a bit of twisting of the record here.
Of course not! They were Baptists! ;-)
L’chaim, (to life).
The real reason for the rule of parking the car a block away from walking to temple.
2,000 pages of Bible. No mention of beer. I doubt this is true.
If they did, it would explain why they were lost 40 years trying to get across a desert. (hic)
Yeah.... that’s what they were doing with that ‘straw’, drinking beer. Everyone knows beer tastes best through a straw.
Is. 5:11 says wine in all translations I looked at . . .
Everybody drank beer. The Romans, oddly enough, don’t seem to have been big beer-drinkers until they got to Spain, where the (B.C.) Celtiberian locals were known for their beer production and beer drinking.
NIV alone among major translations mentions beer a couple times.
