There is no general religious proscription against alcohol. Only Muslims and Mormons come to mind.

There are some Protestant denominations who don't drink alcohol, including many Baptist and Presbyterian groups as well as the Seventh-Day Adventists and the Salvation Army.

While some Methodists now drink alcohol, they historically didn't and still won't allow it in their church buildings (I used to play in an amateur orchestra who had to serve non-alcoholic interval refreshments when we hired a Methodist church for our concert).

The majority of Christians worldwide, though, belong to denominations with no proscription against alcohol.
