I have met Christians who believe that drinking alcohol is sinful because they believe that the purpose of drinking alcohol is to get drunk. I would disagree because I have known people who drink alcohol who had no intention of getting drunk. They were not drinking to get drunk. Getting drunk is not the only reason why a person would want to drink alcohol. For example, Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach and his frequent illnesses (1 Timothy 5:23)
