Roman soldiers drank thin, vinegar wine, mixed with myrrh(a drug) and diluted with water, and would sometimes use this to dull the senses of those being killed. Jesus refused to drink this when offered, keeping his full presence of mind, and enduring faithfully to the end, showing that no suffering could make him break his love for his Father or his loyalty to God. (Mark 15:23; Matthew 27:34; (prophecy: Psalm 69:21) (Hebrews 12:2)By doing this, he successfully answered satan's challenge. (Job 2:4)(John 16:33)

Why Jesus was given vinegar in the cross?
Yes Jesus was given vinegar to drink, by the Roman soldier as he said that he felt thirsty. And also to fulfil the prophecy.
What would Jesus drink?
While Jesus was on the cross, he stated that he was thirsty. There was a jar of wine vinegar there so one of the guards soaked some on a sponge and gave it to Jesus to drink. There may not have been anything else to drink there or, since the Roman guards were very cruel, they just wanted Jesus to suffer more. What the significance of the wine vinegar is I don't know. All four of the Gospels mention this act. Matthew 27:48 Mark 15:36 Luke 23:36 John 19:29 Since the passage in John says that there was a jar of wine vinegar there, I assume that it was used for those on the cross as depicted.

Well, not all the time. Would you drink coffee all the time? The Romans had a wide selection of beverages besides their various types of wines. A useful army favorite was called posca. This was a mixture of vinegar and water. It served to not only quench the thirst, but the vinegar would kill off any bacteria that may be living in the water. This was the drink that the Roman soldier offered to Jesus when he was on the cross.

What did Jesus drink On The Cross?
Luke 23:36 tells us that the soldiers offered Jesus some sour wine while He was on the cross, and Matthew 27:34 tells us that this wine was mixed with gall. This Gall is thought to have been Myrrh, which is a narcotic, and it is said that the Jews would offer this to person's being crucified in order to lessen their pain. Jesus refused this drink as He was to taste the full brunt of sin and death on the cross to satisfy God the Father in heaven because He was the One and only sacrifice for the sins of mankind.
When did Jesus drink the last cup?
Jesus drank from 3 cups during the Last Supper, but the last - the fourth - he did not drink from then. Matthew 27:48, Mark 15:36, Luke 23:36, and John 19:30 show Jesus drinking vinegar or sour wine on the cross, from a sponge placed on a hyssop branch. The hyssop branch was symbolic of the sprinkling of the Passover lamb's blood using a hyssop branch - see Exodus 12:22. So Jesus was truly the Passover Lamb; then he said, "It is finished." That is where the last cup comes in.
