Are there any quotes by him or anecdotes in the bible about drinking that shed light on his views?

He was a drinker and made wine out of water, but I don't think he put any limitations on it.
Someone could have had his keys but nothing was written about it.

A few things ... Jesus DID make wine so we should assume it was fermented. Understand that there is spirit(s) in wine. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. So when guys drink and then curse or want to fight, it is only what is inside them coming out. When sober, we need to have the fruits of the spirit, and then only drinking until a 'buzz' will magnify what is in us. But we should NOT be drunk or uncontrollable. (Proverbs speak a lot on drunkards and LOVERS of beer.) Anything that interferes with God's Spirit operating in us, is wrong. The Holy spirit will leave you (if you already have it) because it doesn't compete or share space. But wine, like many things, is a gift from God that can be abused. To have a half glass of red wine each day is actually healthy and likely to add days to your life.

He turned water into wine and drank wine all the time so if he was against it, he would never have done those things. The water back in those times was not sanitary at all to drink.
So any Christian who says that drinking is a sin, yet believes that Jesus was without sin even though he drank, is a hypocrite.

his basic instructions were to enjoy alcohol for what it was. the bible shows great examples of the benefits of alcohol and the detriments of the substance. from what i gathered from that book was that everyone should use common sense when endulging in alcohol. there are a great number of scriptures about both the positive and the negative effects of alcohol. the positive are based on drinking in moderation(not getting to drunk to where you hurt someone) and the negative effects are based on over endulgence. Just like you are never suppose to over eat; you are not suppose to over drink, even though lots of us humans do both. For some of the negative effects on over drinking look at these scriptures, preferably in an amplified bible so they would be explained better. gen9:21, gen19:33 and 1kings16:9. For some of the positive check gen14:18, matt26:29, and judg13:12-14.

Jesus never said to drink alcohol, they drink fruit wine.

Were there any instances that Jesus was found intoxicated? I don't think he condones drinking. But i know today's Christians will go absolutely mad without their favorite alcohol.

He turned water into wine all the time, he had to be a drinker! Now, if he turned water into beer, I'd like him more.
