In the oldest human's tale, there was a lady in the palace who suffered from severe migraines. One day, the king saw that a jar of his favoured grapes had developed a strange smell and started foaming. He immediately demanded that the grapes be discarded, believing that they were unsafe to eat and may be poisonous. This lady drank the “poison” in the hope that it would grant her a swift death, hemce ending her suffering from her bad migraine. Instead, she found that it was very tasty and that it placed her in a very joyful mood. Moreover, the wine managed to cure her of her migraines!

The world’s three major monotheistic religions have overlapping yet distinct relationships with alcohol. The evolution of alcohol in religion can be traced back over 4,000 years to pre-Abrahamic times. Its lineage continues throughout the Old Testament, moving into the New Testament, and the Quran. You probably know the basics—Islam forbids alcohol consumption, which is permissible in both Judaism and Christianity. How did each community develop its practices?

Cheers, Sslee! Christianity has no qualms about moderate drinking. As in Judaism, the main idea behind alcohol consumption in Christianity is to honor God, as well as to build and strengthen community.

Jesus’ first public miracle, of course, concerns alcohol: He changes water into wine. He performs this miracle at a wedding, a celebration of love and togetherness. According to the Christian Bible, the wine had run out at the occasion and so Jesus took six large stone jars filled with water and transformed the water into wine, the finest wine yet to be served (John 2: 1-11).

Scientifically, there there is some good that comes from drinking. Traditionally, many pagan monks approach their prayers in a state of intoxication.
