Booze in the Bible...
The first reference to wine is found in Genesis when Noah, after the Flood, had a few. "Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent" Noah drank and stumbled around naked and exposed himself to his sons. This experiment with booze ended with a scathing curse falling on Noah's son and children.
Lot also drank, and he was therefore easily seduced into having incestuous relations with his daughters. "So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose". The offspring of this relationship became the nations of Moab and Amnon, the mortal enemies of God's people. Gettin boozed up and gettin laid is quite a normal thing throughout history.
Then there is the infamous experience when the children of Israel drank alcohol, got naked, and worshiped a golden calf. This booze party ended in a horrible massacre.
Amnon, a son of David, raped his half-sister Tamar after a few belts. Because of this, he lost his life at the hands of his enraged brother while intoxicated.
Given these facts and the council of the Bible regarding booze it seems illogical to me that Jesus the Saviour made 180 gallons of booze for a party after the folks had already drunk all of the booze in the house. But maybe thats just me.
