Muslims don't drink any entoxicating drinks because Allah commanded us to stay away from such works of the devil.
I mean, all drinking does is make you drunk, and makes you act stupid.
You can't pray the 5 daily prayers when you are drunk, you can't read the quran when you are drunk, you can't mention the word of go when you are drunk.
Don't eat, swine(PIGS), whats already dead, no alcohol, no blood, and another thing that I can't remember.
We eat meat.
We fast in ramadan as well as other days of the year. fasting in ramadan is mandatory.

We don't drink alcohol as its not good for you. People say well in moderation its not bad for you. The point is the intention to be clear minded to only do good things for your body and not to take one step down a road that can be a slippery slop. Just ask any member of AA. Its about having a clear mind to make good decisions and make good judgments. We eat in the same way as everyone else our eating habits are no different, breakfast, lunch, dinner......We do eat meat except for pork which is forbidden. The meat we eat has to be Halal that is slaughter and killed in the name of Allah and that the blood is drained from the animal. It healthier and makes the meat taste better. We do fast yes. The month of Ramadan is when we all fast for usually 30 days give or take a day depending on the cycle of the moon. We eat before sunrise and then eat nothing, drink nothing, chew nothing (ie chewing gum) we don't have physical contact with our spouses and this is all considered in fasting not just not eating. Then just before 4th pray we break fast normally with milk and dates, then we do 4 th pray our fast is over and we are ready to eat and drink anything we like.
I hope this answers some of your questions. Peace to you.

Muslims don't drink because we are forbidden to do so, we have clears religious texts that says so. See, alcohol has many negative effects; therefore we must stay away from it because it could disastrous to one's self and others.
Eating habits?? we are normal people we eat as we like but we have things that are forbidden such as pigs, meet from animals that aren't slaughtered by the Islamic way...
We fast in the holy month of Ramadan and we can fast as part as Sunna on Thursdays and Mondays..
if you have more questions I'll be glad to answer :)

1.
Alcohol has been declared forbidden because it distorts the senses ( and you know all the bad / negative results of intoxication. Also you cannot pray to God in an "impure" state.
2. They can eat anything over which the name of God has been said for example when slaughtering animals (similar to KOSHER of the Jews), except PORK/ PIG which is forbidden to be eaten by both Christians and Muslims and JEWS.
3.
Muslims fast for a whole month (29 - 30 days) during the month of Ramadaan from sunrise to sunset.

When one is drunk he\she does not realise what he\she speaks nor deoes it know the diff between mother and wife and sister.
Their eating habbits are: do not waste food clean up the plate with no food particals left,befor esting they recite I START IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, and after food they thank ALLAH for food eaten, always eat with right hand. Yes they do fast for 1 whole lunar month which is copulsoury and also fast on other days of the months and they do eat halal meat of anomals permited to be eaten after slaturing.

They aren't allowed to drink fermented grains or fruits.
However, mead, made from honey is one that they could drink.
I'm not sure if any of them do though. They just put a blanket ban on alchool.
Though plenty of muslims do drink, they just do it secretly.
