	Have a respectful conversation with your employer or supervisor about your discomfort. Explain your religious beliefs and values, and express your desire to uphold them while still fulfilling your professional responsibilities. While it's important to maintain professional relationships with clients, it's also crucial to establish personal boundaries that align with your religious beliefs. Politely decline offers to partake in alcohol and make it clear that you do not consume alcohol for religious reasons. Besides, whenever possible, suggest alternative venues or activities for a client meeting that do not involve alcohol. This could be coffee shops and restaurants that offer both options. It's essential to prioritize your religious beliefs and values while finding constructive ways to navigate professional obligations.
