Does the Bible say

"Jesus did not drink wine"

or, "Amen I say to you, alcohol is the work of the work of the deciever, do not concieve it period"

I have never read anything in the Gospels that forbids the consumption of alcohol in the outright sense. I have however, read passages that prohibit divorce, a position I have yet to see embraced by any non-Catholic denomination.

Not to mention, being that Jesus's heritage was Royal House of David (actually, both Mary and Joseph, though formally through Joseph), the likelihood is, he drank wine at passover. There is even a special procedure involved in the production of "Kosher" wine.

I don't think alcohol even was a moral concern until the late 1800s, when liberal populist politicians, added prohibition on their list of desired "reforms" along with giving women the vote, repeal of the 17th amendment, income tax, etc.

Or, His drinking fermented wine would have brought corruption to his sinless blood.
