In the comic, Jesus isn’t turning his blood into wine. He’s simply tapping the vein.
Jesus’ blood is naturally alcoholic. We know this because the transubstantiation turns the wine at mass into Jesus’ blood, and THAT blood is alcoholic. The fact that the wine was originally alcoholic is completely unrelated. The priests could transubstantiate water into Jesus’ blood, and it’d still be alcoholic.
That’s assuming you actually believe in transubstantiation.
I can’t believe I’m arguing this…

There are people who celebrate Eucharist with grape juice and it doesn’t turn alcoholic. It’s not that transubstantiation makes it alcoholic.
So you’re saying that Jesus blood is different based on who is doing it??
Sounds like someone is doing it wrong
It’s the blessing that matters, not the contents of the cup. In transubstantiation the outward characteristics don’t change.
Then how do you know it worked?
You don’t. It’s religion.
Is your faith so weak that you need proof, Thomas?
Ah. The ol’ “don’t ask because we have no answers” answer.
So I believe that transubstantiation only works in the middle east, and we just haven’t realized.
I don’t care what and if you believe but the alcohol in the wine is certainly no proof of transubstantiation. Who would even claim it?
It’s not complicated. I’m probably just explaining it poorly.
Some liquid turns into Jesus’ blood during mass. After that happens, the liquid contains alcohol. Therefore, Jesus’ blood contains alcohol.
