water, Grape Juice, wine and other fermented drinks Answer The staple drink was almost always water mixed with wine - even for children. There is a simple reason for this. Water was always brought from the wells in Jerusalem or local wells in villages. As a result of this and the hot climate, water was unsafe to drink because of the growth of bacteria in it, and therefore contrary to the above answer water was almost never drunk alone. While the people were unaware of the causes of disease (in bacteria) they were well aware of the problems with the water in a society where life expectancy was nio more than 40 or so anyway. They also knew that wine, being alcoholic, was an antiseptic (although they didn't use that word!) and therefore mixing water with wine enabled the water to be safe to drink, without the recipient becoming drunk. It is also well known that Romans brewed a form of beer, which no doubt would have been introduced to the Judaean area. However, we have no real records of this ever catching on in Bblical times in Judaea.

During Jesus' time, people drank water, wine, and sometimes diluted wine (mixed with water). These were common drinks in daily life and during special occasions like religious ceremonies. Honey-sweetened drinks and milk were also consumed, depending on the region and social status of individuals.
