    Leviticus

    That's Old Testament so isn't binding on Christians.

    Question: "Do Christians have to obey the Old Testament law?"

    Answer: The key to understanding the relationship between the Christian and the Law is knowing that the Old Testament law was given to the nation of Israel, not to Christians. Some of the laws were to reveal to the Israelites how to obey and please God (the Ten Commandments, for example). Some of the laws were to show the Israelites how to worship God and atone for sin (the sacrificial system). Some of the laws were intended to make the Israelites distinct from other nations (the food and clothing rules). None of the Old Testament law is binding on Christians today. When Jesus died on the cross, He put an end to the Old Testament law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23–25; Ephesians 2:15).

    Although some should still be followed as they are reiterated in the New Testament.

    No he wasn't, but where does he teach his followers (ie Christians) that they shouldn't consume alcohol?

    And isn't that a little bit hypocritical given that it appears that he liked a little tipple himself? ;)

    A friend and I went out for a pub lunch - ordered our meals and enjoyed a drink.

    When the meals came my friends was not as ordered. The waitress took it back and then returned - "Thats what it said on the box"
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill
