Jesus converted water into vine wine, it was vine wine that they have in Israel then and the chairman of the occasion confirmed it when he rebuked the groom on why he brought a bad wine and later the good one, not knowing that Jesus converted water into the later vine wine served at the occasion.

My question to you is: have you seen and tested original Israel vine wine? It has alcohol in it; go to any Anglican church and take their communion, alcohol is what Anglican church uses as the communion, thank you.

Waste of money. Scripture says "give strong drink to him that is ready to perish!" Proverbs 31:6.

Dey whine yourself you hear.
Nothing like fruit wine in the time of Jesus any wine known then was fermented drinks.
Ecc: 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, wine makes life merry, and money is the answer for everything.

Yet when the North seizes Beer consignments people will still complain. Do you think if the Government really clamped down on distribution of this stuff the same number of people will still indulge in it?

Yes, some elements do drugs in Saudi Arabia but the Government says no as such the behead drug Traffickers. What do you people say? It is too harsh, they are barbaric and live in the stone age, yet you agree that drug consumption is bad.

Having a muslim name doesn't automatically confers on you the appellate "Muslim" but submitting your wills to the Supreme Will by following Allah's command on everything legislated/commanded which doing drugs and Alcohol is among.
What am saying is ...people may agree in the public to religious rules...but in their private it a different story....in all religions
Do you remember the case of Iran regime top elite member who gave his daughter in marriage dressed in western white attire without hijab and the chest wide open

You are absolutely correct on what seems to be the hypocrisy on the part of some people, but what you should note is this: As a whole, the society ought to have a standard, a guide, a rule, a system (choose any) that people are expected to live by. However there are deviants here and there who wouldn't want to conform.

Here in Nigeria we have them aplenty. Their Daughters would not wear the hijab yet they will be on the forefront of Hijab Advocacy. They will say no to Alcohol publicly but serve people in their private space etc.

They are hypocrites and in trying to be politically correct, they ended up being hypocrites.

Saudi Arabia allows Expertriates during Alcohol in designated areas since they want their services but it is not allowed for fellow Arabians.

The West hailed them for allowing Alcohol for non Arabians while the fundamentalists says the ban should be general in the kingdom

Clown. The wine used for holy communion during the time of Jesus and apostle Paul was alcoholic (1 Corinthians 11:20-22). But I suppose you haven't read your bible deeply enough. I don't suppose you know that the bible says you can use your tithe to buy beer or any other strong drink and drink it in the presence of God at the temple (Deut. 14:22-25).
even the holy communion till today is a strong wine highly diluted. Bible only warn to be moderate in usage and you as a man of God to get filled with the holy Ghost rather getting drunk on wine. Also, once alcohol becomes addictive to you, sin has entered because it has become one's god. Bible is deep and should be studied with the help of the originator(Holy Spirit).

do not place beer and drugs side by side. They have no comparison. Drug taken that is not prescribed by a physician for your ailment is an abuse no matter the quantity. This is the reason why on a stop and search routine, law does not hold you guilty if they see alcohol in your car but holds you guilty if they see drugs in your car no matter how tiny. Beer is openly sold, consumer discretion is only advised. Drug can never be openly sold because it is a contraband. Occasionally taking a bottle of beer refreshes you actually as a man if you do not know. People are only advised to stay away especially in a religious perspective if they do not have the discipline to take only what their body needs.

Rubbish. Fruit wine ko, bread wine ni.
The wine in the bible was alcoholic wine. That was why Peter encouraged Timothy to take it from time to time.

Do your research, there is nothing like fruit wine during the time of jesus, moreover the master of the ceremony confirmed that is was alcohol because he said the man kept good drink even when people are drunk. Was it fruit wink that made them drunk?
NB I don't support drinking but don't misquote the bible either
