In this episode, I trace the history of Christians and their relationship to alcohol. We find that the default position of Christians since the time of Christ (and Jews before Christ) has been well-summarized by Luther as follows: 

“If you are tired and downhearted, take a drink; but this does not mean being a pig and doing nothing but gorging and swilling… You should be moderate and sober; this means that we should not be drunken, though we may be exhilarated.” - Luther

There ya go.
