Was drinking alcohol permissible for Christ, peace be upon him, and his followers in his era?

The prohibition of alcohol for Christ, peace be upon him, is from the law of those before us. We only know with certainty what our law has stipulated, and there is no text that proves or denies that.
We draw attention to the fact that contemporary films often aim to spread forbidden things such as immorality, nudity, intermingling, and musical instruments, especially if they relate to other religions and advocate drinking alcohol. Therefore, we advise against watching them.
