There must have been an epidemic 😷 of sickness sweeping through the early church. The OBVIOUS truth is that they drank wine. Routinely. Kind of like we think of the Italians today.
You have a hang-up about drinking, like you did have about tithing. The drinking issue just doesn’t hit as close to home?

Wine was a part of their everyday life. Everyone drank wine, as well as water. We even don't have any indication that there was a prohibition for children to drink it. Wine, oil, water, wheat, fish, meat. All part of the Middle East grocery list.
Italians?
Italians drink wine and French drink champagne?
