Was alcohol prohibited to the previous nations?
The Jews and the Christians, both, do not find anything banning alcohol in their scriptures and hence they consider it permissible. It is also known that alcohol was not prohibited in the early days of Islam.
So, do the Islamic scholars believe that alcohol was allowed for the previous nations or was it prohibited and they corrupted their book?

Actually it is in the Christian scripture not to get drunk with alcohol, in at least two different places:
Proverbs 20:1 King James Version (KJV) 20 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Ephesians 5:18 New International Version (NIV) 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,

It doesn't prohibit alcohol though, right, just drunkenness?

The Christian scripture also talks about Yeshua's conversion of water to wine. This seems (to my lay understanding) to be confusing, if not contradictory against the verses in this answer. Much like Quran 16.67 when compared to Quran 5.90

The Christian scripture forbides drunkeness, not alcohol consuption. The stance on it is more of moderation than total avoidance.

@T.Sar yes, several leaders in the NT are even portrayed drinking wine, with no indication that it was unacceptable. What is warned against is drunkenness.

I think the drinking of alcohol had been prohibited in all divine religions, from Adam (PBUH) to the last messenger (PBUH), since the holy Quran says:
Believers, wine and gambling, idols and divining arrows are abominations from the work of satan. Avoid them, in order that you prosper. (5/90)
so this is abominations of satan and is the satan's work, also Imam Reza (PBUH) said:
مَا بَعَثَ اَللَّهُ نَبِيّاً قَطُّ إِلاَّ بِتَحْرِيمِ اَلْخَمْرِ
