Abstract
For 40 days and 40 nights, Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives, and myriads of animal pairs remained safe in their Ark while massive flooding destroyed the rest of the world. After several more weeks, the Ark settled on dry land, and Noah and his family emerged. What was among Noah's first acts upon leaving the Ark? He “drank of the wine and became drunk,” and his sons had to protect him from embarrassment ( 1 ). Thus, the book of Genesis reports one of the first episodes demonstrating the dangers of alcohol.
