In celebration of the birth (observed) of the guy who transmogrified water into wine (allegedly) no wine is allowed. I guess in some manner that's fair, any true follower should be able to accomplish the same feat.

    The reason drunkenness was so prevalent back then is because brewing alcohol was the easiest and most accessible way to turn water into something that wouldn't kill you

    A lot of people (very much including me) forget that not long ago, there was no electricity for easy refrigeration. I’m middle-age, but that’s such a crazy concept for me. How do you take a boat journey for weeks, months(?!?!) and survive? Everything would go bad in the ocean heat and blasting sun so quickly! Insanity.

    Plus, that Christ guy was really into wine. Go to a church and they'll offer you a sip of wine and tell you it's his blood. That's a BAC of what, 11-12%?
