Back in biblical times it was safer to drink wine than it was to drink water (no filtration). But yes, many died from alcohol related illnesses. Many still do.
For you figure that its cleaner than the bible says drinking some wine is good for you especially.
For you especially if you especially if you especially if you especially if you especially if you figure that its cleaner than the water back then they didnt have water back then they didnt have water purification plants or anything.
Shows how much you know. It has been shown that drinking a glass of wine with every meal is actually very good for you. So long as you leave it at a glass a night, it will have no impact on your liver whatsoever and will not cause you to be an alcoholic. That is true today. No reason to think it wasn’t true 2000 years ago.
OK, Lets just assume that most of these people that have answered don’t know what they are talking about. Back many years ago, all fruit drinks were called wine. If it was fermented and held alcohol content, it was called “good” wine. So when they spoke of drinking wine with their meal, they were talking about drinks such as grape juice.
In those days, there was no way to purify water. Often, the water in the wells, or in the streams, was polluted.
Alcohol, including the wine’s alcohol, will/ does/ shall kill MOST of the germs. They drank only enough wine to fulfill the need, at that moment, until they could arrive at a well, or spring, which provided safe water, and then they filled their water ” vessels” and went on their way.
