No, where I live, outside of supermarkets, muslims pretty much have a monopoly on selling alcohol through convenience stores, delivery services etc (as well as marijuana). I'm not even joking.
In some religions, you're supposed to practice what you preach

You're the one who brought it up:

Luckily it's prohibited in my religion.

Like, explain how bringing this up is actually relevant in any way to the topic at hand? Besides some kind of sneaky ninja brag?

I'm not sure. But reduce it as possible.
There are some youtube videos that can help you to stop ( reduce the amount ).
Most of Alcohol drinkers have diseases in liver and stomach ( mostly cancers )
Luckily it's prohibited in my religion.
Good luck with your journey.

It is prohibited doesn't mean people will not use it, example weed.

Low ethanol intake is known to have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular disease. In cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance leads to altered glucose and lipid metabolism resulting in an increased production of aldehydes, including methylglyoxal. Aldehydes react non-enzymatically with sulfhydryl and amino groups of proteins forming advanced glycation end products (AGEs), altering protein structure and function. These alterations cause endothelial dysfunction with increased cytosolic free calcium, peripheral vascular resistance, and blood pressure. AGEs produce atherogenic effects including oxidative stress, platelet adhesion, inflammation, smooth muscle cell proliferation and modification of lipoproteins. Low ethanol intake attenuates hypertension and atherosclerosis but the mechanism of this effect is not clear. Ethanol at low concentrations is metabolized by low Km alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase, both reactions resulting in the production of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). This creates a reductive environment, decreasing oxidative stress and secondary production of aldehydes through lipid peroxidation. NADH may also increase the tissue levels of the antioxidants cysteine and glutathione, which bind aldehydes and stimulate methylglyoxal catabolism. Low ethanol improves insulin resistance, increases high-density lipoprotein and stimulates activity of the antioxidant enzyme, paraoxonase. In conclusion, we suggest that chronic low ethanol intake confers its beneficial effect mainly through its ability to increase antioxidant capacity and lower AGEs.'

Maybe you should if you want to. As I just mentioned, if it can harm if taken excessively (but that's like anything even food and water), then it can be beneficial in moderation too.
