I know what the Nazarite vow is, and it's quite an inference to assume Jesus was a Nazarite based solely on his refusal to drink what was essentially a pain killer, don't you think? Where in scripture does it ever state that Jesus took the Nazarite vow? Further, the fact that people called Jesus a glutton and a "winebibber" implies that He drank wine or grape juice with His meals. Either one was forbidden to a Nazarite, regardless of whether it was fermented.
