Can Jehovah's Witnesses Drink Alcohol?

Yes within reasonable limits. Jehovah's Witnesses can drink alcohol.

Beverages they can drink including

  1. beer
  2. wine
  3. liqueurs
  4. cocktails
  5. spirits
  6. hard liquor

There are no limitations on the type of alcohol they can consume or the quantity. However getting drunk is not allowed. Being intoxicated or drunk is a reason for disfellowshipping, which means excommunication from the church and shunning.

Drinking alcohol to excess violates one of the many rules Jehovah's Witnesses have.
