-The one scripture in the Old Testament that could be taken as a prophet's blessing on the people to get drunk reads like this:
+There are two scriptures in the Old Testament that could be taken as encouraging the drinking of alcohol:
-*II Samuel 6:18-19 ''And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts. And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.''
+. Moses gave a commandment to spend tithes on a party, including strong drink:
+:''...spend the money for whatever you desire — oxen or sheep or '''wine or strong drink''', whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household.<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Dt 14:26.</ref>
+. A king's blessing on the people to drink:
+:''And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts. And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.''<ref>II Samuel 6:18-19</ref>
