He is mentioned getting drunk several times in the bible (and gets molested each time). Is this a sign that binge drinking is a sin?

As far as I know he was the first man to make wine, from his grape plantation. He used to get drunk and get naked, embarrassing his children to death. When his sons attempted to dress him up, he used to curse them. That is true. That kind of story is not told in the churches, go figure! My father was a JW and told me about that. My father, as a Christian, used to spend hours and hours trying to understand why Noah fell into sin like that... my father passed away with the age 79 and never had an answer.
That shows me that the church shows solely what is convenient. Was he a man of God? Yes... Did he fall into temptation after that? Yes.
I don't know why...
Scripture? Open the Bible and continue to read after the flood and you will see.
Peace!

Hehe, yes and Lot was taken advantage of by his daughters too.
30 Lot went up from Tzoar, and settled in the hills together with his two daughters, since he was afraid to remain in Tzoar. He lived in a cave alone with his two daughters.
31 The older girl said to the younger, 'Our father is growing old, and there is no other man left in the world to marry us in a normal manner.
32 Come, let's get our father drunk with wine, and sleep with him. We will then survive through children from our father.'
The bible doesn’t specifically say that drinking is a sin. There is drinking throughout the bible. It is taught that anything in excess is a bad thing and that your body is a “temple” so it would be bad to pollute the temple constantly

No he was a righteous man, he was saved from the flood and god has foreknowledge.
Therefore binge drinking and being molested by your children is a good thing.

Noah wasn't molested by his children. You are confusing him with Lot. Noah celebrated dry-land by getting ripped. While he was passed out, his sons "uncovered his nakedness," which is to say they saw him, but that's about it.
To answer your question directly - yes, this is the first mention of wine in the Bible.

Jesus turned water into wine, so I'm not too sure about that one. They didn't really have t.v., so I'm sure they drank their boredum away! LMAO You made me laugh. . .
