I have been told that wine and great juice is a problem (other than Shabbos). I want to know- is beer and scotch/bourbon is also prohibited? Or is the halacha different and it is allowed. Please answer only if you know for sure and of course, any Halachic source is a plus. Thanks August 2, 2011 11:51 pm at 11:51 pm #793379 deiyezoogerMember Its not about alcohol, wine (and grape juice) have a chashivos. Other beverges are permited. (those who are not using grape juice for havdalah in the nine days use beer instead. August 2, 2011 11:52 pm at 11:52 pm #793380 Bar ShattyaMember I know its muttar.
