Jesus stressed it they say, though. Wine could be his very blood, he reputedly said.

After his death, its said the apostles were filled with 'holy spirit." Though onlookers in fact suggested they were literally drunk on new wine.

Curiously, the word "spirits" can refer to inner mood. Or booze.

It's all about people getting crazy, and losing their rational judgment.
