It is inadmissible that man, who hath
been endowed with reason, should consume that which stealeth it away. Nay,
rather it behooveth him to comport himself in a manner worthy of the human
station, and not in accordance with the misdeeds of every heedless and wavering
soul.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Kitab-i-Aqdas’; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II,
Prohibition on Drinking Alcohol)
