In the beginning of Islam in Arabia- you were allowed to drink alcohol - but not pray when drunk or become drunk in general. (this is also the practise pre-Islam - i.e. in time of Jesus a.s.).
Then it was revealed that people should stay away from alcohol all together (there is some good in it - but the bad outweighs the good).
This doesn't mean the message changed - its an addition to perfect the practise of Islam.
Just like fasting was a practise before (for a few days) - yet after final prophet (s.a.a.s.) - fasting for a whole month was prescribed.
Just like praying 3 times a day was compulsory before, now it is 5 times a day.
Same message - perfected practise
