the bible says
Noah was the inventor wine
and
the captain of the good ship known as "the ark"
and
god said that Noah was a righteous man
and yet
the bible says Noah got drunk "on more than one occasion"
does this mean Noah was a drunken sailor?

Yes, you are wrong.

You are corrected!
1. The Bible NEVER credited Noah for inventing wine.
2. The ark was not a ship. It was merely a large floating barge.
3. The ark had no sail either, so how could Noah had been a sailor? Like the rest of the folks on the ark, he was no sailor, he was a survivor!

I don't think building the ark (which was a monster-sized, waterproof chest, rectangular w/corners) and floating for a period of time --- no means of propulsion or steering --- really qualifies Noah to be called a sailor. BUT as a cute joke -- it'll fly

Sure. Puritanical Christianity is an offshoot of the Protestant movement and did not exist until the 16th century. Most Jews, Catholics, and Orthodox don't think that having fun is a sin and Catholics and Orthodox do not teach any nonsense like Jesus turned water into unfermented grape juice to keep a party going. Have fun, but don't get wasted all day every day so that you are getting nothing done or getting into trouble. Peace be with you

No it does not say Noah "invented" wine. I'm sure wine was common during the time that Noah lived.
As for the rest of your comments:

The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness

Noah was not the first creator of wine... but, yes, in a way he was a drunken sailor!

I personally believe wine was nonexistant during the preflood time because the sun was not directly exosed as it is now. And Noah got accidently drunk. Just my theory.

Okay
Where does it say Noah was the inventor of wine?
An Ark is not a ship. Please read a dictionary.

Well, he had to get drunk according to the story....how else could he have intercourse with his daughters? The reason his daughters took advantage of his difficult position, is because there were no other men around and they had to have children or else you and I would not be around!
I hope my answer has given you more insight.

He wasn't drunk by thetime the arc was finished, at least not when the waters came...
