From a Jain perspective, drinking alcohol is not allowed. In Jainism, the path of purification and self-control (including the vows of right conduct and restraint) requires avoiding intoxicants, which cloud judgment, harm the body and mind, and lead to negative karma.

Key points:

• Both Digambar and Shwetambar traditions prohibit intoxicants, including alcohol, for lay followers and more strictly for ascetics.
• Alcohol obstructs samyak darshan (proper perception) and samyak jnana (true knowledge), and it fosters passions (kaam, krodh, moha), which disturb Ahimsa and spiritual progress.
• Therefore, in Jain practice, it is not considered 'okay' or 'neutral'—it is generally avoided to maintain purity, self-control, and spiritual focus.

If you’d like, I can share a simple verse or a noble-speech (stotra) from Jain scriptures that talks about self-control and purity.
