Noah invents wine, gets blackout drunk in his tent, and Ham makes it weird — first family scandal post-flood

creationOld Testament

What Happened

After saving humanity, Noah plants a vineyard and proceeds to get absolutely wrecked on wine. He passes out naked in his tent. Ham walks in, sees everything, and instead of covering his father he goes and tells his brothers about it. Shem and Japheth walk in backwards with a blanket to cover Noah. When Noah wakes up, he curses Ham's son Canaan. Post-flood family drama was immediate.
