Jesus not only drank alcohol, but used it (wine) in instituting the holiest sacrament of His Church. Like many other good things, alcohol can be abused, but there is no problem using it in moderation.

From your atrocious typos, your religion allows for day drinking.

Alcoholic beverages can be enjoyed by people who want to use them, in moderation and under control, usually without any ill effects.
But when they are used in excess, then this becomes an abuse of alcohol, which is harmful, even deadly, to the abusers as well as to others.
The fact that alcoholic beverages need not be condemned can be seen in the Bible. There God is spoken of as arranging a future time of happiness for mankind when, among other things, he will provide a banquet of well-oiled dishes, a banquet of wine. (Isa. 25:6)
Surely the Creator would not use wine as a symbol of happiness if it were an item forbidden to mankind.
Also, Jesus Christ made fine wine at a wedding celebration, showing that it can have its proper place.
At Passover it became the custom for family groups to drink several cups of wine, which, by that time, would be fermented.
Hence, in celebrating the Passover of 33 C.E., Jesus drank real red wine, some of which he offered to his disciples in introducing the Lord’s Evening Meal. Mr 14:23-25
He used fermented wine, not unfermented grape juice. Biblical references to wine are to literal wine, not to the unfermented juice of the grape.
Jesus’ enemies accused him of being given to drinking wine, a charge that would mean nothing if the wine were mere grape juice.

So, you've learnt how to type "religion" correctly. Now, please learn how to type the words correctly, and how to have a proper grammar.
EDIT: OK, to answer your question, it does allow alcohol to some extent. The bigger risk is getting addicted to it, to be "mastered" by it, kind of like drugs. It is also sinful to get drunk, as you are willingly giving your self-control up for something ultimately insignificant, and that leads you to do things that you would never do when you're sober. It actually should be the case in Islam as well, but they take things far too literally, and punish unjustly (well, those who grossly misinterpret the Quranic verses that is).
That said, don't forget that Jesus used WINE to represent his blood (symbolically), and it is a sacred thing in masses and in marriage. Of course, this is a particular case, since we are talking only about wine.
