I actually assumed it was well before then.
And I know this thread isn't about alcohol but it does make a good example since it IS considered a black & white sin in the minds of many/most -and yet Jesus MADE the stuff!
And when a phrase like "gladden the heart" is used in scripture (and not in a disparanging way) doesn't that indicate that there is at least a little "tipsiness"?
I think a huge problem (with alcohol) today as opposed to then (biblical times) is how available it is! I get the impression that wine was NOT easy to come by, at least the good stuff that you would actually want to drink, where as today you can pick it up for 4.99 a bottle!
