The poster I addressed (not you) made two claims that are not supported by scripture, as far as I can see, and are at odds with what other Christians on this thread have claimed. You are free to support that poster's claims, if you can.
If you're referring to this post:

then SIG is batting 500.
As shown in the link I attached, it is a sin to get drunk, as God needs us alert and sober (self controlled).
Regarding the latter statement by SIG:
Despite what some Christians teach, there is no prohibition in God’s Word against drinking alcoholic beverages. It is not a sin to drink beer, or even whiskey. There is, however, a clear prohibition against getting drunk. A Christian might then conclude that drinking no alcohol at all would surely eliminate the possibility of abusing it, and choose never to partake. Each of us must choose for ourselves how we relate to “booze,” but we have no biblical basis to think less of our brethren in Christ who enjoy a drink once in a while, but do not get drunk.
