Couples - Alcohol Consumption
Question
Is it permitted for a woman to drink alcohol after going to the mikveh?
And what about her husband, is it allowed for him as well?
Answer
Shalom uVracha,
It’s forbidden for a husband and wife to be intoxicated at the time of having intimate relation, this applies to both the man and the woman.
However, it is permitted to drink a small amount that doesn’t cause drunkenness.
