Drinking alcohol isn't a sin but drunkenness is.

1 Peter 4:3

3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.

Ephesians 5:18

18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,
 

Proverbs 20:1

1 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

 

Romans 13:13
13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.

---

Bible clearly teaches that drunkenness is not acceptable. But it also mentions that drinking wine\alcohol can be done without sinning 

Ecclesiastes 9:7
7 Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do.
 

Timothy 5:23

23 Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.
 

Psalm 104:14-15

14 He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate— bringing forth food from the earth: 15 wine that gladdens human hearts, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts.
 

--

I want to post one more scripture for you to reflect on concerning consumption of alcohol.

1 Corinthians 10:23-24

23 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive. 24 No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.
 

--

May I ask your reason for the question?

Paul actually commands Timothy to not just drink water, but a little wine for a digestive aid.

It's not a sin to drink alcohol, it is a sin to drink until drunk, passed out, getting into fights with strangers, slipping morals and behaving like a drunk.

Do you really need scriptures from me on this? I bet you can think of some that apply here!

I think the Bible would lead one to believe it is okay to drink a little, and that intoxication is a sin. I over drank and quit altogether, and have no desire to drink again.

I dont think it is a sin the drink beverages, remember Jesus made wine, which they person said was the best tasting wine after the not so good tasting wine. In Jesus first miracle at the wedding. I believe it was actual wine, although this is disputed. The bible doesnt say much on beers and lagers, etc. However the bible says it is a sin to be drunk. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_views_on_alcohol#:~:text=He emphasized the goodness of,madness of a fellow mortal."

God bless. Excessive drinking is a sin.

it is not a sin to drink alcoholic beverages, however we are warned not to over drink and get drunk.  we are responsible for the things we do when we over drink and that is the main danger of alcohol.   some people can not just drink a little and to avoid that they shouldn't drink at all.  it is more complex than just declaring it a sin or not.

In the day of Yeshua, water was suspect so they mixed fermented stuff with it for safety. Just do not get drunk or take ANY substance that, a) lowers your morals and alertness, b) makes you an easy target for the 'bad guys' either men of women.
