QUESTION: Did Jesus drink alcoholic beverages?

ANSWER: No! That Christ stands opposed to the use of alcoholic beverages is made clear in Proverbs 23:29-35 and Isaiah 5:11. Note that these two passages show a connection between “wine” and “strong drink.” Then consider Habakkuk 2:15, “Woe unto them that givest his neighbour drink, that puttest the bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness.” Certainly, this does not suggest that our Lord who was without sin, having kept the Old Law perfectly, including this passage, gave His neighbour (the twelve and those at the wedding in Cana) to drink and “put the bottle to them.” Neither does it suggest that He Himself drank alcoholic beverages. Clearly the oppositeis taught!
