Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.

—John 2:1-11

And let us not forget that Jesus was considered a drunkard by the Jews. Well, if not wine, how about a good extra stout or porter?

How was that again?

P.S. It's not necessary for people to drink alcohol just because Jesus did. People have lots of good reasons (that are none of our business) not to drink.
