Answers: Alchohol is prohibited in Islam
I'm a godless athiest and have cut and pasted from various websites etc...
Definately not in judaism to quote the old testament: Psalm 104; 14 He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivate bringing forth food from the earth: 15 wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil that makes his face shine, and bread that sustains his heart.
I don't think so in conventional christianity but there is some dispute between mormons, jehovas witnesses etc.. and catholics, anglicans etc.. The weak arguments from the Bible used by fundamentalists to oppose all alcohol use whatsoever collapse upon even cursory examination, in my opinion. Note that God doesn't outright forbid this "strong drink" as immoral in and of itself. It may be avoided (along with wine) by some for fasting or ascetic (voluntary self-denial) purposes (as in Lev 10:9, Num 6:3, and Deut 29:6), but that is not a sweeping prohibition. In fact, in Deut 14:26, Moses (see Deut 1:1) says in so many words that it is perfectly acceptable to drink it. The writer of Proverbs advises giving "strong drink" to the dying, and "wine to those in bitter distress; let them drink and forget their poverty, and remember their misery no more" (31:6-7; NRSV). This is similar to the Apostle Paul's suggestion to "take a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments" (1 Timothy 5:23; NRSV).
Muslims have an outright right ban on liquor as these partial passages from the koran state:At first, it was forbidden for Muslims to attend to prayers while intoxicated (4:43). Then a later verse was revealed which said that alcohol contains some good and some evil, but the evil is greater than the good (2:219). This was the next step in turning people away from consumption of it. Finally, "intoxicants and games of chance" were called "abominations of Satan's handiwork," intended to turn people away from God and forget about prayer, and Muslims were ordered to abstain (5:90-91). (Note - the Qur'an is not arranged chronologically, so later verses of the book were not necessarily revealed after earlier verses.)
I don't think Jews drink but Christians do. They have wine in church (Blood of Christ), plus the Bible says that Jesus turned 2 jars of water into wine. So I don't see how they can prohibit drinking if their holy book & prophet says about it.
No, you just cant get drunk.
They can drink alcohol, but only on special occasions.

Yes and No
i get it from the islam guy in a licker store or from the jews and christians
No, it's not prohibited. In fact, it's an integral part of some rituals. However, becoming drunk is looked down upon.
Too bad for Islam. That's all I have to say about that.
I think Jewish people don't drink a lot, but its not prohibited in their religion.
Christians would advise moderation. That advice is not always taken.
no alcohol is allowed only islam prohibts the intake of alcohol but if the muslims drank the world would be a better place
I'm Christian and I get drunk on a daily bases, Drinking is not against my religion, I know a lot of priests that have wine with their meals....
Wine is the blood of Jesus Christ, I'd hope it's not forbidden else I may have to have words with my local vicar.
nope, only cosuming it to excess.
Then again how much is too much?
No, it's not prohibited in Christianity. What is prohibited is being drunk.
That being said, there are churches that preach to abstain from alcohol. I know the Methodist church is one. Even during communion, the blood of Christ is represented with grape juice, not wine. (Yet, at the last supper, Christ gave WINE to his disciples, not JUICE.)
I can't speak on behalf of the Jewish faith. However, I'm pretty sure there isn't a prohibition of alcohol, there, either.
