'Woe unto him that giveth hs neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also,... (Habakkuk.2:15)

Christ would never give anyone something that would cause them to sin, since that would be a sin.

You quote Habakkuk 2:15 without giving the entire verse:

Here it is (in the KJV):

Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!<'i>

This isn't a passage about prohibiting drinking alcohol, it is a passage about taking advantage of your neighbor.
