Michael Jackson may have served kids something a whole lot stronger than soda. According to an article in the March issue of Vanity Fair, the self-proclaimed “King of Pop” routinely drinks wine out of soda cans so no one knows he’s drinking.

The magazine also reported that Jackson, who is charged with child molestation, refers to white wine as “Jesus juice” and red wine as “Jesus blood.”

Jackson’s accuser claims Jackson gave him wine in Coke cans on a flight from Florida in February 2003, with his unsuspecting mom right there, the magazine said.

The report quotes Jackson’s former business adviser, Myung-Ho Lee, as saying all the kids around Jackson knew about Jesus juice.

Jackson reportedly told them, “Jesus drank it, so it must be good.”

Jackson’s people were not available for comment on the report.
