In Jainism, both eggs and alcohol are discouraged, but for slightly different reasons and with some variation between traditions.

• Alcohol: Strictly forbidden in all major Jain traditions. It is considered an intoxicant that dulls judgment, promotes harm to living beings, and disrupts spiritual practice.

• Eggs: Generally avoided as well, because egg production involves harm to potential life and goes against the principle of ahimsa (non-violence). In practice, most lay Jains avoid eggs, though there can be minor differences in interpretation between Digambar and Shwetambar communities. Overall, eggs are treated as unsuitable for a Jain who aims to practice non-violence and spiritual discipline.

If you’d like, I can explain how these views are discussed in specific Jain texts or traditions.
