Socializing With Non-Jews Without Alcohol
Social Drinking With Non-Jews
- In social situations, if there are more non-Jews than Jews (some hold that if there are an equal number of Jews and non-Jews),[1] Sefardim may not drink any beer in such a situation.[2] Ashkenazim may drink anything besides date honey beer. [3] However, there are a wide range of opinions, and many adopt a strict approach in this situation.[4] If there are more Jews than non-Jews in the social situation, drinking is allowed.[5][6]
