That's interesting.
But his quote at the last supper seems to indicate that Jesus did drink wine ...unless he was talking about grape juice ...

Thank you for your reply.
Jesus was a nazirite, a person who totally dedicates his life to God. Nazirites were forbidden to eat or drink from the fruit of the vine (grapes), they also never cut thier hair or beard, no blade was to touch their head. So its safe to assume Jesus had long hair and a beard.Thank you for your reply.
Jesus clearly surrounded himself with people who did drink alcohol, and he even went as far as turning water into wine.
What exactly makes you think Jesus never drank wine? It's just that I have never heard of this before ( and neither have I ever given it any thought ...)

Do you use mouthwash, cough syrup, or toothpaste? Everything we consume has impurities, and most everything we eat has poisons. In small amounts, that's why eating a lot of anything can potentially kill a person or give them cancer.
That's why fasting is so cool. It purifies your body, so is exercise. When you exercise, the poisons in your body are being sweat out. Also if you drink a lot of anti oxidants, you urinate all your poisons out. That is why Apple juice, and mango juice make you really dehydrated, basically what they do is flush out your bodily fluids. Hence staying hydrated, exercising and drinking anti oxidants, is very healthy for the body. Plus if you throw in a balanced diet and healthy sleep cycle, we will almost be healthy and fit all the time. Our bodies would be really strong. Even though this isn't a lot of work, people are too lazy (including myself) to maintain this. Hence we die off at the age of 70-90 ish
These same poisons cause cells to go corrupt and stop reproducing. When more and more of your cells stop reproducing, you start to notice a person's aging (wrinkles, muscle deteriation, health effects). But if you see the same person who maintained their health, even though they might be older than someone, they can seem younger. Our bodies have the potential to live a long long time, it's just everything we eat has poisons, hence we usually die off before a hundred years.
I spent the majority of my adult life wrestling with alchoholism. I started drinking early,before I was of age.Even when I was obviously an alchoholic,I denied it. Booze. It sneaks up on you. I drank regularly as a young man.Thought nothing of it. Some are able to drink normally,some are not.I'd say that if one builds their life more or less around their drinking,they are alchoholic. This does not necessasarily mean that one is living under the bridge.It means that they might have a hard time enjoying any activity that does not involve drinking.If in truth you see yourself described here.Step back and take a good look.You are young.Quit while your ahead.You'll save yourself a lot of misery and heartbreak.Quit now. It will never be easier.
Hmmm, interexting, I will have to check it out when I have more time
