The Amish and Alcohol

The Amish orders actively suppress the use and consumption of alcohol and tobacco. However, like any other community, some members consume it without being observed by the stricter members of the sect. Some people in the order also just drink alcohol without making it a big deal.

They have celebratory drinks on special occasions, like wine or cider, at weddings and other functions. Many may expect them not to drink because they are a typically reclusive group, but this is far from the truth.
