Values with Jesus Christ

Since when I became a Christian, making a commitment to living for Jesus Christ and of legal age to drink alcohol beverages I have had very little amounts of alcohol. As a follower of Jesus Christ I believe that drinking alcohol is not a place for believers following Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit direction. I have read some information on should Christians drink alcohol beverages. The Holy Spirit can not work in ones life when there is alcohol involved in ones life. I find it very confussing when I am in the presents of people who claim to be Christians who go to Church on a regular bases and see that they are consuming some kind of alcohol beverage. Do these people think it is ok to have alcoholic drinks no matter who they are present with? Do they have any values in their walk with Jesus Christ? For myself I could not change my values on the alcohol consumption more due to the fact that alcohol drinks can lead to so many wrong decisions in life and can turn your life up-side down. Alcohol does not belong in a Christians walk with Jesus Christ even if Jesus drank wine himself. That was the culture then and the water was not good to drink. I would hope and pray that people would see what they are doing to themselves first and second their witness to non-believers when it comes to alcohol consumption.
