That said, The bible also says we should not drink at all.
No, the bible doesn't say that. It actually promotes drinking some alcohol for health reasons etc.
Deu 14:26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
Pro 31:6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
Pro 31:7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Mat_9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
New wine is grape juice that is beginning to ferment and creates a small amount of alcohol that's why it's called new. The fermentation process causes expansion which is why you can't use a stretched out old wine skin for new wine.
