What is the allegory significance of Christ would not receive the "mingled" drink?

Matthew 27:34
They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall:
and when he had tasted [thereof], he would not drink.

Mark 15:23
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh:
but he received [it] not.

Luke 13:1
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

Revelation 8:7
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood
hint: grace + law is like blessed + cursed
which is also like mercy + sacrifice addead,
which is also like life + death addead
 
Wine is symbolic of the Blood of Christ as given for our Salvation. Just as bread symbolizes is His flesh and for Passover it should be unleavened...meaning nothing added that would bring "spoil" to it...so wine should be pure as well. (Wine/Blood/Salvation/Trust) Keys to the Kingdom (Bread/Scripture/TheLaw/Obey) this is what God said to do in "remembrance of me". Not nibbling on crackers and grape juice. He meant for you to get into your Bible rather than have the pure truth mingled with men's traditions, lies and false teachings. There are two keys to the Kingdom of God (The Word made Flesh - Christs flesh is now the Bible) Trust and Obey. Trust in His Salvation. Obey His Laws. Don't let it be mingled.
 
Starting with Matt 27.

Concerning the Messiah, it was foretold that he would be given “a poisonous plant” for food. (Ps 69:21) This occurred when Jesus Christ, before his impalement, was offered wine mixed with gall but, upon tasting it, refused the stupefying drink that was probably intended to alleviate his sufferings. In recording the fulfillment of this prophecy, Matthew (27:34) employed the Greek word kho·le? (gall), the same term found in the Greek Septuagint at Psalm 69:21. However, Mark’s Gospel account mentions myrrh (Mr 15:23), and this has given rise to the view that in this case the “poisonous plant” or “gall” was “myrrh.”

Looking at the other uses of the word "mingled" besides that involving Jesus, it means to mix.

Luke shows that Pilate "mixed" the sacrifices of the rebellious Jews with their own blood.

And what Revelation describes fits with the words of Joel.

(Joel 2:30-31) 30*“And I will give portents in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. 31*The sun itself will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and fear-inspiring day of Jehovah.

Since blood is used in the scriptures to mean the soul of the being (whether animal or human) the references would seem to indicate that the "mingled" hail and fire would result in death (the blood being spilled).
