The water of the day was bad so people drink wine because it was purified water. It killed anything that would cause a person to get sick. I believe that people have good water to drink so people should not drink alcohol but it is a sin to get drunk. I say don't get near the edge and you will be okay.
Again, some Muslims may object saying: "How can the Messiah of God make wine and offer it to the people to drink? God has prohibited wine in the Torah, and the Qur'an repeated that prohibition in the Table 90 and The Cow 216, saying: 'O believers, wine and arrow-shuffling, idols and divining-arrows are an abomination, some of Satan's work; so avoid it; haply so you will prosper."
In the meantime, you will find that the Qur'an is promising the believers not just one river but rivers of wine as a delight to the drinkers.
The Qur'an says: "This is the similitude of Paradise which God-fearing have been promised; therein are rivers of water uninstalling, rivers of milk unchanging in flavor and rivers of wine- a delight to the drinkers. (Mohammed 15; Man 15; Man ; The Stiners 25).
Here, we see curiosity peaks and many questions are being raised: "how did the Qur'an prohibit the wine here on earth but make it available to Paradise inhabitants in enormous quantities, flowing as rivers to drink without end?
Does the Qur'an mean that God prohibits wine here on earth but He allows it to the Paradise inhabitants so that they can get drunk in heaven?"
The answer is clear. The Holy God prohibits wine and drunkenness on earth, does not allow, in His pure heaven, drunkenness or any agent that causes drunkenness. If wine were found in heaven, it will be that good wine that by nature has nothing to do with drunkenness. In the same thought, we find Christ, in chapter two in the book of John, not performing a miracle to offer the people the wine that cause them to lose their memory, their, their balance, and their self-respect but rather He made that other kind of wine, the good wine. He made that wine that was a delight unto the drinkers who, once they tasted it, the influence of the earthly wine evaporated and their minds were made alert; consequently, they rose up asking about that good wine that was really a delight to the drinkers.
John 2:7-11
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
