He did? When? Chapter and verse?
And if he did, would that justify it?
It's OK for all those Catholics to do it because if Moses[sic] could do it and still get to heaven, they can too.
See, they're not so bad after all. Even the priest drinks and smokes, so it's OK for the laity to do it too.
I recognize the thinking. I saw enough of it growing up.

“It’s OK for all those Catholics to do it because if Moses[sic] could do it and still get to heaven, they can too”
If was good enough for Moses and Jesus it’s good enough for me.
“When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent.” ~ Genesis 9:21
If anyone believes the wine drank in scripture was not alcoholic they’re wrong. God frowns on someone getting drunk, but believe you me the wine AND beer were alcoholic.
Alcoholic beverages appear in the Hebrew Bible, after Noah planted a vineyard and became inebriated. In the New Testament, Jesus miraculously made copious amounts of wine[1] at the marriage at Cana. Later, Jesus incorporated the fruit of the vine as part of the Eucharist. Wine is the most common alcoholic beverage mentioned in biblical literature, where it is a source of symbolism,[2] and was an important part of daily life in biblical times.[2][3][4] Additionally, the inhabitants of ancient Israel drank beer, and wines made from fruits other than grapes, and references to these appear in scripture.[5]
Biblical literature displays an ambivalence toward intoxicating drinks, considering them both a blessing from God that brings joy and merriment and potentially dangerous beverages that can be sinfully abused.[6][7][8][9] The relationships between Judaism and alcohol and Christianity and alcohol have generally maintained this same tension, though some modern Christian sects, particularly American Protestant groups around the time of Prohibition, have rejected alcohol as evil. The original versions of the books of the Bible use several different words for alcoholic beverages: at least 10 in Hebrew, and five in Greek. Drunkenness is discouraged and not infrequently portrayed, and some biblical persons abstained from alcohol. Alcohol is used symbolically, in both positive and negative terms. Its consumption is prescribed for religious rites or medicinal uses in some places.
