Jesus liked to party, after all he did turn the water into wine at the wedding. Which is one of the many questions I have for Baptists who don't go for drinking and dancing--Jesus did it, so what's so wrong?
Quite a few Christians will tell you that Jesus turned water into grape juice.

With close examination, we must conclude that the Lord did not make intoxicating wine at the marriage feast in Cana of Galilee. "Did Jesus turn water into wine?" Yes. "Did Jesus turn water into intoxicating wine?" Absolutely Not!

Seriously? Gosh, I'm even more grateful for having been raised Irish Catholic--no hangups about booze, just good old-fashioned Irish guilt, which can usually be handled with a regular dose of confession.

amych and I once had a long discussion of fanfiction as midrash.

Humph. Jesus totally rolls His eyes forever at these people and is all "What.Ev." and making an L on His forehead behind their backs.
I imagine He finds it quite a relief, what with all the serious and malignant craxyheads who make Him tear His hair out and drink gin from the dog dish.
Grape juice? I can't see that. It was a wedding, not, like, Circle.
Eh, whatever blows their skirts up. Chastely, of course.
The real problem is, of course, who had a Frigidaire to keep all that grape juice from getting nasty? And really, is room-temperature grape juice any good? I think not. Nobody can be festive about grape juice without a nice chiller and some ice cubes.
Wine, OTOH, at least some of the time is worth drinking at room temperature.
In my translation, he turns the water into single malt.
You didn't feel that way about "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back"? I walked away from that one half an hour in. It felt like an awful fanfilm that someone somehow managed to get the View Askew regulars to star in.
The second time I saw it in the theatre, I laughed myself hoarse. As in, lost my voice from laughing. The sheer number of pop-culture refs was staggering. YMMV.
I thought it was funny. Not as funny as Plei, but...
