Some believed that it was a sin, and some believed that it was only acceptable under certain situations. Often, these opinions have been connected to religion. Two religions that have had very different views on alcohol consumption have been the Christians and the Muslims. In Christianity, alcohol is considered [insert short summary of Christian beliefs: ex. a sin, except when consumed during religious sacraments]. According to Islam beliefs, alcohol is [insert short summary of Islam beliefs: ex. considered a sin]. There are many significant differences between these religions opinions regarding alcohol consumption, and they have had different effects on the way of life of their people.
--edit it so that it's more factual. I wasn't sure what the beliefs really were.

Muslims consider alcohol as 'haram' or sin. With it comes premarital sex, blaspheming, blah blah.
I don't know much about my own religion but since Jesus drank wine...I guess it makes it alright for us to drink. Even in the church, when there's a wedding, they sip wine from the same cup thing, etc.
But don't believe that all muslims are goody good and don't drink. I went to a bar once and it was FILLED with old muslim grandpas and they were drinking beer like mad. A drunk grandpa even approached me and called me 'sexy'! So yeah...don't believe that they follow the rules all the time.
