Genesis 9:21 - Additional Comments

This is the first time wine or alcohol is mentioned in the Bible, and possibly the first time anyone had gotten drunk. Wine is made from fermented grapes, and before the flood, grapes probably took much longer to ferment because there was no direct sunlight, and therefore no wine had existed.
