So a contributing factor to not looking into Islam was that you couldn't drink / get drunk? How does that have any bearing on whether it's true...
Anyhow, I'm sure there's a resident Muslim who can answer this for you
I did not feel that because I got drunk that I should still try to become a Moslem. I did not mean to get drunk, it just happened. It was college after-all.
Also I have a fondness for beer and was wondering if even one beer was considered haram. In some religions, getting drunk is the sin (you can drink in moderation though) and I want to know if that is true in Islam or if my understanding that even the tiniest amount of alcohol is the sin.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
