Please keep in mind that the Old Testament is a history book. Everything changed when Jesus Christ came to earth and died for our sins. The two commandments in the New Testament are how you should live you life today.
1. The New Testament talks about sex, marriage, and divorce, but not dating. Marriage was a much differenct concept in biblical days and dating as we know it didn't exist. The man had to ask the girls father for her hand in marriage and the dad usually gave the man something like a house or cow if they married.
2. The New Testament says you shouldn't get drunk, but even Jesus drank wine.
3. The New Testament doesn't say anything about pork.

Well, I'm sorry to say, we don't have the original one. We have the Masoretic, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Septuagint, the Dead Sea scrolls, and maybe 4 or 5 thousand mss. bits, but the original one isn't there.
If you mean the OT is the only testament, then you have a great more restrictions here.
Drinking is dealt w/ in 2 ways: Noah's dad said Noah would provide relief from our hard work. Noah made the first drink. In Proverbs it is written that drink is best saved for the dying - the king's mother to her son.
Dating - little if no dating occured in that society of the OT. The girls were betrothed by the family for a bride price. The price then became her 'retirement' fund. If it was a matter of rape, then it depended on if it was in the city (could be heard) or outside. The NT suggests that if one of the partners has a "fire" for the other then they should get married. For a good share of Biblical times, 16 would be considered a spinster.
OT prohibited pork as unclean in the Levitical cleanliness laws. In the NT, Acts 10 cleared it as a clean food. Jesus also "cleaned" up the clean food issue.
These and other issues may be cleared up at:

honey the whole bible is the original one the old testament is for learning and seeing how things happened to the people that obyesd and disobeyed God the old ways in the OT changed when Christ came and died on the cross We follow the New Testament for our daily lives
dating is allowed there is nothing wrong with that but people must be careful who they pick and where they go
alocohol is not good for anyone and should not be used for any reason maybe after you are married and know your husband but if you never taste it you will never miss it
pork can be eaten and there is nothing wrong with that
try getting the book Zondervans it is a good reference book
cruedens is also a good book

if you believe that stuff why not look them up yourself I would but I don't find it moral to mislead or spread the misinformation of false sources .use your head in dating beware of stds. don't poison your body and pork won't hurt you any more than other meats fish or poultry but medical science stands firm in the belief that the healthiest diet is vegetarian.now believe whatever your poor heart desires.
peace out

You don't say whether you're a Christian or not, but if you are, why are you clinging to the old laws, which never saved a soul, and only resulted in condemnation?
