In the case of Alcohol, for a Muslim it would be against his / her Religion to go ahead and have a harmless glass of wine for example. But here is what the Muslim context has to say; Alcohol drinking in Islam is prohibited by God himself as it causes damage to the brain cells of the drinker, and one of the values in which Muslims believe are to maintain and take care of one’s self. Proved by Science: “Drinker experiences mild euphoria and loss of inhibition as alcohol impairs region of the brain controlling behavior and emotions. Alcohol impairs behavior, judgment, memory, concentration...
