I don't know whether I have got it right, or it was a paranoic interpretation of mine, but when they introduce Saint-Just as puritan he is talking about prohibiting liquor in the Convention. Maybe it is supposed to be a sign of SJ's sense of humour, I am not sure.

But they keep on drinking wine in all these scenes? Or maybe it's really because then Saint-Just proposed they should be drinking blood instead.

In combination with a time-travelling machine that would be a great idea. He could travel to the present, get Schama and apply revolutionary justice on him so the evil CPS can have a good bloody toast to Virtue ;-)

Hm, I don't know. I've certainly never heard that before, but I do know people would eat and drink in the Convention. Perhaps someone suggested that that wasn't particularly dignified. I can't imagine that it had anything to do with alcohol per se (historically speaking; the documentary could be saying who knows what kind of nonsense).
