According the bible he drank wine on several occasions.
I love this lame (and inaccurate) argument "back then wine didn't have alcohol in it". There is no historical indication wine did not contain alcohol. Otherwise they would have called it grape juice. Jesus specifically speaks against drinking too much. He also specifically speaks of getting "drunk with wine":
“Be on guard, that your hearts may not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of live...” (Luke 21:34).
“Do not get drunk with wine, in which is dissipation” (Eph. 5:18).

I don't believe so. Some point that he turned water into "wine", but the Greek words that are translated as "wine" in the Bible can be either fermented wine or non-fermented grape juice.
In this case, I believe it was not fermented. In this case, the guests at the party had drank a lot of wine. If Jesus had created alcoholic wine, he would have contributed to their drunkenness. Drunkenness is a sin, so if Jesus had created alcoholic wine, he would have helped these people sin more! Wouldn't this be a sin on Christ's part also?
Jesus did no sin, therefore, I don't believe he created alcoholic wine.

Yes, His first miracle was changing water into wine. Some religions claim it was the drank back then not really wine, but if yo think about it they did not have the methods we use now to preserve grape juice and keep it from turning.
The only thing the Bible says is not to get drunk on wine or strong drink, not not to drink it.

I believe His first credited miracle in the Bible was turning water into wine, doesn't mean he drank it, but seriously puts things in that favor. I never understood why some religious groups won't drink because it's "wrong." Everything in moderation is fine, I'd say.

I would think so--wine was a common drink. Remember, he changed water into wine, and at the Last Supper, he held up a glass of wine and said it was his blood.

Possibly. Why does it matter. Drinking alcohol in and of itself is not a sin. Drinking it to the point of drunkeness is what's wrong.
