#When one is socializing with more non-Jews than Jews (and some even hold when it's half and half), strict Halacha for Ashkenazim is that one may drink anything besides date honey beer, but there are a wide range of opinions on what one can and cannot drink, reaching as far as an opinion that one cannot drink any beverage. Strict Sefardic Halacha is that one may not drink any beer in such a situation, but other alcohols are permitted. | #When one is socializing with Jews and non-Jews, if there are Jews than no-Jews, drinking is allowed.<ref>Rambam Ma'achalot Asurot 17:10</ref> If there are more non-Jews than Jews (and some even hold when it's half and half)<ref>Pri Chadash 114:1</ref>, strict Halacha for Ashkenazim is that one may drink anything besides date honey beer,<ref>Rama Yoreh Deah 114:1</ref> but there are a wide range of opinions on what one can and cannot drink, reaching as far as an opinion that considers the possibility that one cannot drink any beverage.<ref>Chelkat Binyamin (Shaar Hatziyun 114:19)</ref> Strict Sefardic Halacha is that one may not drink any beer in such a situation, but other alcohols are permitted.<ref>Yalkut Yosef Yoreh Deah 114:1</ref> | ||
