I said he was called a drunkard. He never denied drinking. He was bashing those who were the legalists of the day.

He never denied drinking.

Did he admit it?

I have heard some references to Jesus being a Nazarite. If so, then he, like his cousin John, would not have drunk wine. He might have made it out of water, but he would not have drunk it if he had taken a Nazarite vow.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD: He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. (Numbers 6:1-3 KJV)
