I cried when I listened to this song & video by T.Graham Brown. Asking God to turn the wine into water.
My husband has just quit himself & my daughter has just had her 3rd baby.
I believe Jesus turns wine into water all the time. My family plans to do this, to support my husband, this Christmas.

AMercer, Jesus turned the water into wine before His earthly ministry started. He did it for His Mother. And the wine He served at the last was better than the first wine served.

Great Gazoo, Pee isn't water. And this song is about turning the wine into water before drinking it. Or changing the affects of alcohol. Where the destructive damage isn't done.

My answer to your Q is a resounding YES. And also, I agree with GJ..,Tahoe..,Pike..& Virginia, especially. Jesus' works, whether one believes or not that they really occurred, have deeper meaning in them, when one chooses to study and consider and meditate upon them. There is so much more to this wedding example than what we've even touched upon here.
Here's my comment on your details:
WAY TO GO!!! :) This is truly the way the truth and the life being demonstrated before us. Thanks for making it so that others may Discover this Q and possibly be uplifted, inspired and/or affirmed to continue on or to begin anew.
May your family's love continue to expand and become the sweetest, headiest, nectar and balm to all your souls. You truly exhibit the love that JC showed when he began his public ministry at the Canna (sp?) wedding. His mom just nudged Him into it, like any supportive Hebrew mom would. She was with Him all thoughout those 3 years of his public record ministry, until HE released Her to John when HE was on the cross.
As has been said, it is about moderation. And sometimes, abstinence is moderation for me. Because one is too many and a million is not enough. [Kinda like me trying to just spend FIVE minutes on Answers - egad, hasn't happened yet ROFLOL :) - I admit it, I'm addicted here. Which has broken my chocolate addiction, so it's a blessing in one way]
Congrats on the new life arriving (daughter's new baby) and on the resurrected life (husband's quitting). You folks have lots to celebrate this Christmas. And by the family turning wine into water this holy-day season shows how love in action looks.
Happy Happy Christmas to you. :)
And 2 more pts to me. Wheeeeeeeee.

There's no biblical verse that says that the wine was alcoholic, but it's historically correct that it was. Also, there is no Christian law that says drinking is a sin. There are biblical verses that say drunkenness and debauchery are sins, but not enjoying a glass of wine with dinner or a glass of champagne on new years or even a beer at a back yard barbeque. On another note, I will never understand why this is such a big issue among Christians. Can we please see the big picture!?! Honestly, you have to ask why Jesus did this, no if there was alcohol involved or not. That doesn't matter. He did the miracle for the host of the party. It was a wedding reception and back then it was culturally unacceptable to run out of accommodations of any kind for your guests. It was so unacceptable that the wedding guests could have legally robbed him of expensive possessions and raided his home if they wanted to. That is why Jesus turned the water to wine.

Yes, Jesus turn water into wine. This is a great illustration of Jesus that anything even an ordinary water can change it into special thing to use it. Like for example an alcoholic guy that been like that many many years and waste most of his time burning his liver and most of his life doing stupid things. When God found him, that nasty habit of him change into extra ordinary life and God use his life to change other people life because of his testimonies. Not only that God healed him from his liver damage. Sometimes listening to music or watching t. v. will give us a big impact to our life. We need to filter everything that will come in in our door or window of our heart. The guy who asking God to change wine into water, I believed he did not know what he was asking for and it gives a doubt to someone. He become a stumbling block.

I think that a wonderful and very loving jester on the part of you and your family. Here's a little more help along with scriptures.
Although the Bible does not prohibit the drinking of alcoholic beverages, that does not mean that we have to drink them. There are many reasons to abstain. For instance, a former alcoholic knows the dangers of taking even one drink. A pregnant woman may abstain out of fear of harming her fetus. And knowing how alcohol impairs judgment and reflexes, a driver would refrain from doing anything that would jeopardize his life or that of others.
A Christian would not want to be a stumbling block to anyone whose conscience condemns drinking. (Romans 14:21) Wisely, he or she would refrain from the use of alcoholic beverages when engaging in the public ministry. It is noteworthy that under God’s Law to ancient Israel, the priests were forbidden to “drink wine or intoxicating liquor” when in official service. (Leviticus 10:9) Also, in lands where consuming alcohol is forbidden or restricted, a Christian would obey the law.—Romans 13:1.
While determining whether to drink or not, or how much to drink, are personal decisions, the Bible advocates moderation. It says: “Whether you are eating or drinking or doing anything else, do all things for God’s glory.”—1 Corinthians 10:31.

Yes, He CAN and DOES!
Psalms 107:10 -- Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; 11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: 12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. 13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. 14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. 15 Oh that men would PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS GOODNESS, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
Many are BOUND by addictions and I've seen Him miraculously free people from those addictions! In some instances, people who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol are instantly delivered from the effects of those things in their system!
Genesis 32:29 -- And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
Matthew 7:11 -- If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Matthew 18:19 -- Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 21:22 -- And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, BELIEVING, ye shall receive .
John 15:7 -- If ye ABIDE IN ME, and MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, ye shall ASK WHAT YE WILL, and it SHALL be done unto you.
Get into His WORD. Get under His BLOOD. ASK.

That story has always cracked me up. Here you have this powerful person who changes water into wine at a wedding. Why? They were out of wine. So what? Drink water. However, this guy decides to turn water into wine. Meanwhile, there are thousands of people suffering in the lands around him. Many of them dying. Where was the saviour? At a party drinking wine.

Jesus can turn anything into anything. But he would probably have the hardest time turning pepsi into coke.
