As to your questions concerning the serving of alcohol by
Bahá'ís to their non-Bahá'í guests, the House of Justice feels that, because of
the many differing circumstances relating to this subject, it does not wish to
make any definite statements at the present time. It is obvious that Bahá'ís
themselves must not drink alcohol and the rest, for the time being, must be
left to their own consciences.... (The Universal House of Justice, from a
letter dated 2 March 1978 to a National Spiritual Assembly; The Compilation of
Compilations, vol. II, Prohibition on Drinking Alcohol)
