Let's suppose your scenario is the situation. What would be your purpose in giving more intoxicants to people that were already half-plastered (from six 2-firkin jars and assuming 120 people, I figured about another gallon apiece)? You must have a reason . . . ?

And why would your Mom want you to do that?

Have your figured out what the Biblical significance is, in retelling the ministry of Jesus?

Can you put this all together and come up with an objective here that even begins to be reasonable?

Why would John include the fact that the wine was made in the ritual containers which, after contaminated by leavened wine, would need to be replaced?

Choose your poison.

If they weren’t alcoholic, then they were high sugar juices, which would have promoted gluttony and other sever pancreatic and liver damage.

If a firkin is about 40liters, then we’re speaking of about 600 liters. Between 100-2000 people in attendance at the feast, and the ceremony lasting 7 days, about 1-6 liters of wine per person over a seven day period isn’t that bad.
