Drinking is not prohibited in the Bible, and Jesus did turn water into wine but it is prohibited to be so drunk that you lose self control. I believe the passage she was trying to quote is:Ephesians 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
Most people don't understand what the Bible actually says, they just understand religion and that's what causes all the conflict.
