Jesus turned water into wine so he wasn’t against having a little wine with dinner. Day after day stupored drunkenness or drug addictions to the point of family neglect or abuse, unemployment, is another matter...and that is what I have become hardened towards! (or the little lies families will say when asked why they didn’t tell the doctor of their loved one’s alcohol use...of just a “drink or two at night so it can’t possibly be why uncle George is in DT’s” Except the fact that the body gets habituated to those 1 or 2 drinks a night and can start to react when it doesn’t get those 1 or 2 drinks...which later on becomes the “admitted”(by a worried wife who is sick of having to lie for a secret drunk)to 1/2 empty fifth hidden under the couch or the six packs out in the work shop.)
Water was filled with diseases and germs back then
