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.

I didn't quote the entire verse because the verse is speaking of sinning by giving someone liquor and a comma is added which is additional to the first statement. 'Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunk also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness' is the RESULT of the drunkness

The Lord isn't going to give people a poison, which is what alcohol is, a poison that results in people becoming immoral as well.
