Do you consider alcohol ok in a vegan diet? Or is veganism also concerned with maintaining a sober lifestyle?

Much alcohol ( probably >80% ) is not suitable for Vegans.
It would be really interesting to see where those that said "its ok" got thier info from, i'd like to correct the source of those errors.
There are some that are filtered and use vegetable finings. These tend to be clearly marked.
Veganism is not to do with being sober - certainly not the ones i know !

A lot of types of alcohol are filtered using animal products (fish bladders, if I remember correctly). If a vegan person is uninformed, they might drink these un-vegan types of alcohol. However, if a vegan person can find a kind of alcohol that is animal-friendly, they should feel free to drink it.
Being vegan and abstaining from alcohol do not necessarily go hand in hand.

I think there are some vegan wines and beers -- I've seen them at some vegan websites. I'm hardly an expert, though, since I do not personally drink (for reasons that aren't related to veganism).

A lot of straight edge people are vegan. Most vegan people are not straight edge.
As long as you don't get plastered regularly, you aren't hurting the spread of veganism.
There is a connection between moderate or occasional alcohol consumption and reduced risk of suffering from dementia later in life.

That is a personal choice, but alcohol is vegan most of the time so it fits in a vegan diet.

Alcohol is fine in a vegan diet.

Alcohol is fine on a vegan diet, but I don't think its okay to over do it vegan or not.

Healthy eating is not the same thing as being an ascetic. Red wine is very healthy. People who drink more moderately—a glass of wine at dinner, for example—have a lower incidence of heart disease and tend to live longer than those who are teetotalers, completely abstain from alcohol.

Veganism has nothing to do with drinking or not drinking. My boyfriend is a Vegan and still drinks.

The butcher tried to deliver the calf forth by skill of announcing, " Why do you no longer want again out? G-d positioned you right here as a manner to serve guy. you're doing a large honor to G-d by skill of serving by way of fact the Sabbath meal." yet needless to say the calf does not come out and this went on till city Rabbi got here walking by skill of, inquiring after the hardship. "Rabbi!" the butcher exclaimed. "This calf won't come out and positioned up to its place on the dinner table in accordance to the will of G-d. clarify to the calf that it would be eaten." The Rabbi bent down, puppy the calf and reported, "This calf shall stay for it is so afraid and we could desire to word of that concern. it incredibly is extra important to G-d that we are compassionate to all of introduction, even whilst that compassion runs counter to Torah." And so the butcher set the calf loose and the calf lived many happy years grazing between the fields.
