I'm going to a Seder which is on my college campus. It's not actually "on campus" but at the Hillel house. Alcohol is not allowed on the campus, but I'm not sure if that includes the Hillel House, especially for Passover. Will they have grape juice available?
What if there is wine, should I drink it? I am a Hindu and I don't believe in drinking alcohol. Also, I'm on anti-depressants, and you're not supposed to drink alcohol with those.
Should I say the reason is because I'm Hindu? Or should I just say it's because of the medication I'm on? I don't want to come across as "holier than thou" because I totally respect that Jewish people drink some wine (because I know they use it wisely). I don't think it's wrong for them, but I just don't think that I should do it, because of my particular commitments.
