Wine.
What Scriptures do you know about that supports this theory?
Or is it that in Jesus' day they all drank fermented Grape Juice/real wine?
Was this a tradition back then? Was it a custom back then to only drink wine?
Answer
Wine was drunk then because the alcohol killed any germs that were in it, and preserved it for storage. References to wine drinking are frequent in the Bible--there are, according to christinyou.net, over 256 references to wine. The Bible comes down against drunkenness--witness Proverbs 20:1 ("Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.") or Proverbs 21:17 ("He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loves wine and oil shall not be rich.").
There are 75 admonishments against drunkenness. Drinking wine is fine, but drunkenness is not.
As to the original question, Luke 22:17-20 says: "And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the New Testament in my blood, which is shed for you."
Now, as to whether Jesus ever drank wine...check Luke 7:34--"The Son of Man is come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!" I leave you with 1 Timothy 5:21-25: "I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine other infirmities. Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid."
AnswerFruit of the vine (grape juice). During the passover they were not to eat or even have leaven in their homes. Alcohol is made out of yeast(leaven) which they were not to eat.Matthew 26:29 (KJV) But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this FRUIT OF THE VINE, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
Mark 14:25 (KJV) Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the FRUIT OF THE VINE, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
Luke 22:18 (KJV) For I say unto you, I will not drink of the FRUIT OF THE VINE, until the kingdom of God shall come.
Also, there are many Hebrew words tranlsated into the one English word "wine". This is because Hebrew does not have the word "juice". The following is a list of the Hebrew and Greek words that are translated into the one English word wine. It is very clear if you go to the Hebrew and Greek texts to see that alcohol was forbidden. The confusion comes because all of these words were tranlated into one word in English.

That is what some people think, but the opposite is truth.
Grapes freshly harvested and smashed out produce grape juice laden with billions of tiny leaven cells. These leaven cells are alive and what causes fermentation. It is these leaven cells in a war with the sugar in the grape juice that starts the fermentation war. The by-product of this war is alcohol. As the level of alcohol rises in this war, the leaven dies and the carcasses fall to the bottom in the form of a white substance. That is why a bottle of Welch's will tell you to shake well, this puts the separated dead leaven cells back into solution and they are hidden by the color of the juice. But not so in wine. The leaven is dead and the wine is drawn off and the dregs as the white stuff is called, is thrown away. Many who take the Lord's Passover will take unleavened bread and then drink Welch's grape juice filled with dead leaven carcasses, or will take fresh grape juice laden with billions of living leaven cells. The Jews used wine for Passover and that settles this issue. They did mix this wine with one-third water and this diluted it down.

Is supper bad?
This was categorized under 'The Last Supper', so I'm going to conclude that you were referring to that. The Last Supper was not bad, however what proceeded the day after and what the Last Supper stood for is rather grotesque.The Last Supper was, in the New Testament, the Last Supper that Jesus ate with his disciples, and the one in which he gave his last words of wisdom. The proceeding day, Jesus was set to be crucified, and hence the celebration of Easter.
