One could argue that simply breathing our polluted air is bad for your health. I wouldn't be surprised if Jesus would enjoy a cigar and some scotch (in moderation). Some present-day pharisees would likely make a comment about how He would be hanging out with sinners, and I suspect His response would be very similar to what He said 2,000 years ago. He turned about 150 gallons of water into wine at a wedding... some people get a little freaked out by that thinking that He was promoting drunkenness - but was he promoting gluttony when He provided way more than the necessary amount of bread and fish when He fed the 5,000?
"Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."
Matthew 15:11
