No actually christians should not drink alcohol.

The answer to this question is a matter of personal or religious opinion.

Some Christians argue that whenever the word wine was used by Jesus or praised as a gift of God, it was actually Grape Juice. It was only when the substance in question caused drunkenness or was otherwise criticized was it wine. Thus, they interpret The Bible as teaching that alcohol is bad and that drinking it is religiously unacceptable.

This reasoning appears to be incorrect for at least two reasons. First, the same Hebrew and Greek word is used for the wine that Jesus drank and the wine that made Noah drunk. Second, grape juice would very quickly ferment into wine in the warm climate of the Mediterranean region without refrigeration or modern methods of preservation.

There is no reason why Christians shouldn't drink alcohol. We drink alcoholic wine in Church when we take Holy Communion. It would be contradicting to tell others to not drink Alcohol would it not ?
