You're welcome.
Drinking alcohol is haram.
Islamic rulings don't have to have reasons, as they are for people with different levels of knowledge, and are meant to keep simple. The prophet (PBUH) reportedly said "I was selected on the simple, easygoing theism"(بعثت علی حنیفیه السمحة السهلة if you will) and most people remember only the conclusions, and conclusions are most important for ordinary people. The masses cannot afford the time to read on complete paper for each thing!
Regarding alcohol in particular, suffices it to say that it is intoxicating, and that it harms your prestige (انه یدهب به ماء الوجه)
What we know about today, with the help of experimental knowledge, is that drinking too much of it is a sign of borderline people. And that even a small amount of it has no good effect on the health and probably even some adverse effect. But the important thing is that we are not all supposed to be medicals.
