What year did Noah have a drink problem?

Answer 1

There is no record of Noah being a 'drunk' in terms of it being a consuming habit in his life. The Bible does mention, in the period after the flood, that Noah 'began to be a husbandman' - that is, a person with a vineyard. He evidently made some form of wine and got drunk. It is never suggested that this was habitual. see Genesis 9:20-24.

There is a lot of mystery left to what type of man Noah was.

Answer 2

A:According to the Flood story in Genesis, one of the first things that Noah did after safely alighting on Mount Ararat was to become "the first to plant the vine" for winemaking. Unused to strong drink, he over-indulged and became drunk.

Ian Wilson (Before the Flood) believes that the historical event that led to the Flood myths was the inundation of the low-lying fertile plain where the Black Sea is now. This event occurred approximately 5600 BCE. He says the oldest definite traces of wine so far found have been dated back to c.5400 BCE, as soon after the Black Sea Flood as makes little difference. Thus, it makes sense that ancient myths associated the Flood (the inundation of the Black Sea) with the introduction of wine.
