Wine was watered down back then. It started out at like 18% alcohol then was watered down 1:1 or 1:2 alcohol to water. So he would have been drinking a wine that is about as weak as the lightest alcohol wines of today. I 5% wine into a blood alcohol calculator on a 85 kilo man. That gives you a 0.68% blood alcohol level after 3 hours. That’s only like half of the record blood alcohol level ever recorded so…maybe you don’t die if you try this, but probably you’re gonna die. Also the blood alcohol calculator says it would take you 46 hours to burn off all the alcohol.
