You're woefully uninformed with the manner and custom concerning wine in NT times and Eastern cultures. They didn't go as overboard as we do in the West my friend. They pace themselves quite well. In fact, throughout Italy and Greece today people drink wine on their lunch breaks at work. It's cultural. They don't drink to get wasted. In fact, when they sense that they have had too much, they typically start eating. This mitigates the onset of drunkenness. It's almost unheard of to consume wine without food in the East and the Mediterranean. This wedding was not only full of wine... but full of food!
