Where in the Bible does it state that people shouldnt drink alcohol? Bible verses would be good. (link)

In arguement to GODROX123's statement, Jesus did not drink alcohol. Infact, Jesus told us not to "look upon wine when it is red." In that day in time, when wine was red, it had gone through a certain process of fermenting that, when ingested, had similar effects that alcohol has today.
Jesus and his disciples went to a wedding (John 2:1-11.) During this wedding, Jesus transformed about 600 litres (130 gallons) of water into OINOS (original Greek translation). In the original Greek, these verses use the word OINOS, which means either alcohol or fresh grape juice. But, "Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in...drunkenness... But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts." (Romans 13:13-14) Surely Jesus did not make any provision for the flesh, to fulfil its lusts. Surely what He made was grape juice.
