Borrovan posted:weirdos, most of us could outdrink God at this point Actually God abhors alcohol. How do I know this? Because a Christian kid at school told me. How did he respond to my 'what about water into wine'? That is actually a misnomer, apparently, because Jesus actually turned the water into 'fermented grape juice'. How did he respond to my 'that is wine'? Well, you see, his church explained that Jesus actually turned the water into a special non-alcoholic fermented grape juice that was popular at the time.

Doesn't the wine turn into blood when you drink it? So it's fine.

I've definitely been drunk but I haven't been blackout crippling hangover drunk. I definitely drank a lot more in the week for a good while. I've cut down since the new year but on average I'd say I drink more than I did in the before times.

To be fair to the kid he was only 15 so he just lapped up whatever bullshit his church fed him. But I showed him this post from a Christian site that concludes that Jesus was definitely a cool guy when it came to wine: https://www.gotquestions.org/Jesus-water-wine.html Tbh we all know wine tastes like poo poo but has the advantage of being alcoholic. If Jesus came to my party and turned my water into a non-alcoholic vinegar drink I would tell him to do one and I'd stick to pagan water.

I mean the wine drunk at the time probably had to have water added to it. I think the Romans were forever complaining that the various different Celtic groups drank their wine "neat".

Ok there is the final line taking the swing: "telling them what to do and attribute the blame", but it remains vague about, blame for what, or what 'telling jewish people what to do' the left take part in. Even his parody of his opponent couldn't find any substance to complain about, other than the old rightwing gripe of the left being superior, knows-best, do-gooders... you think he would have gone with "global bankers" is the left being crypto-antisemites or something but perhaps even he realized that isn't going to sound right since, well people really do hate bankers, not (((bankers))), but legitimately bankers.

It didn't HAVE to have water added, it wasn't some kind of ancient superwine or anything, but yeah the Greeks thought drinking it neat was uncouth and let's not even talk about that barbarian 'beer' nonsense...

Yeah as far as I know the technology to make strong alcohol didn't exist until someone invented the still (and avoided blowing themselves up long enough to tell other people about it) so romans just really liked alcopops. Conquered half the world on WKD and worcester sauce.

It would have been considerably weaker than modern wine, they didn't really understand the process and certainly didn't know how to cultivate yeasts that can cope with higher alcohol concentrations, so it's likely it topped out at around 5% ABV which is the limit of most natural yeasts.

https://twitter.com/LiamThorpECHO/status/1364204680214151170?s=20 Labour ditched the entire Liverpool mayoral election process for unspecified reasons - none of the existing candidates allowed back in. All "newcomers" now have 48 hours (starting NOW) to get their ballots in. Well, I say unspecified, but I mean that the outright socialist with the support of Corbyn and the unions was favoured to win ... What a great party.
