Jesus was born a Jew and would have obeyed all the 600 laws that were in the Old Testament.
Christianity did not start until Jesus was about thirty and got baptised and started his preaching/teaching..
He would not have eaten pork or got drunk.
But he would have drunk wine in moderation. After all, Jews were not teetotallers.
Only the Nazirites were not permitted to drink wine.
Also, when Jesus turned the water to wine at the wedding in Caana, it proves that wine was part of Jewish festivities.
And it is mentioned many times in the Old Testament, which Jesus knew very well. He had spent his first thirty years studying it. And as a PERFECT man, son of God, would have remembered every single word.

WINE AND STRONG DRINK

There are a number of original-language terms that usually designate some kind of wine (Heb., ti·rohsh′ [Ge 27:28, 37; Ho 2:8, 9, 22]; Heb., che′mer [De 32:14; Isa 27:2] and its corresponding Aramaic term chamar′ [Da 5:1, 2, 4, 23]; as well as Gr., gleu′kos [Ac 2:13]). But the Hebrew word ya′yin is found most frequently in the Scriptures. It first appears in Genesis 9:20-24, where the reference is to Noah’s planting a vineyard after the Flood and then becoming intoxicated on the wine therefrom. The Greek word oi′nos (basically corresponding to the Hebrew term ya′yin) first occurs in Jesus’ comments on the inadvisability of using old wineskins for new, partially fermented wine, as the pressure developed through fermentation would burst the old wineskins.—Mt 9:17; Mr 2:22; Lu 5:37, 38.

Various strong alcoholic liquors, apparently derived from pomegranates, dates, figs, and the like, were usually designated by the Hebrew term she·khar′. (Nu 28:7; De 14:26; Ps 69:12) The Hebrew word ‛a·sis′, at The Song of Solomon 8:2, refers to “the fresh juice” of pomegranates, but in other passages the context points to wine. (Isa 49:26; Joe 1:5) Beer may have been designated by the Hebrew word so′ve’.—Isa 1:22; Na 1:10.

Wine Making. In Palestine the grapes were gathered during August and September, depending on the type of grapes and the climate of the region. The vintage season was practically over by the time “the festival of booths” was celebrated in the early part of autumn. (De 16:13) After being picked, the grapes were placed in limestone vats, or troughs, where men usually crushed them barefoot, singing songs as they trod the winepress. (Isa 16:10; Jer 25:30; 48:33) With such comparatively gentle crushing methods, the stems and seeds were not broken down, so that little of the tannic acid in the skins was expressed; this, in turn, made for a high-quality wine, one that was smooth and soft on the palate. (Ca 7:9) Sometimes heavy stones were used instead of feet.—See PRESS.

In Mark 7:18-19, Christ declared ALL foods clean. The Bible never says whether or not he ate pork, so any comments on whether he did or he didn't are merely supposition.

Read Acts 10 for what God has to say about avoiding pork.

Jesus DID drink wine. With alcohol, as we see in Luke 7:34 and Matthew 11:19.

Observing the dietary restrictions of the Law. Jesus never ate pork products. Did he drink wine? No doubt. But he never got drunk.

Drink alcohol, sure. He had wine on the Passover meal, and likewise bear in mind that He grew to become water into wine on the marriage in Cana. He in all probability did no longer consume beef, nevertheless. He grew to become into Jewish, even with each thing. consuming alcohol isn't forbidden in Judaism, yet beef is.

He was a gnostic in my opinion. I still doubt that he ate pork because of the cleanliness laws.

Most certainly he drank wine. Have you ever attended a Sader?

If you had to put up with whining Christians all the time, you'd get drunk a lot too.
