What Nidam al-Tayyibat says
Alcohol is never itemized in the system's sources, whose religious framework rules it out from the start; it is therefore forbidden by default without any list mentioning it. For readers in the West, this covers wine, beer, cider and spirits.
Sources differ: INCERTAIN quant à la source : interdit par cadre religieux, non itemisé.
What conventional nutrition says
Alcohol is a recognized risk factor for the liver, several cancers and accidents; public health guidelines advise keeping it to a strict minimum.
