Allah (SWT) said in the Holy Qur’an:” Glorified be He who carried His servant by night from Al-Masjid-al-Haram (the inviolable place of worship) to Al-Masjid al-Aqsa (the far distance place of prayer), the neighborhood whereof We have blessed, that We might show him or our token. Lo! He is the Hearer and the Seer.” (Al-Isra’: 1)

Islam is an ummatic (community) religion. Muslims have to help one another in the pursuit of anything good for the community and in the deterrence of anything bad and harmful to the community. About intoxicants, Islam warns people against the danger as they affect the whole community in several ways. Therefore, it becomes a Muslim’s responsibility, as a member of the community, to try to help anyone he knows who is about to fall victim to any of these intoxicants or has already fallen into their traps, by whatever means he can. In the above-mentioned case, at least one of the four Muslims in the group should have reminded and deterred the others from proceeding with the intention of celebrating the birthday with alcoholic drinks!

Islam also puts great emphasis on general health consciousness. Our Prophet (saw) said:” The most important knowledge is religious knowledge which protects the soul, and the knowledge of health which protects the body.”
Eating halal food, brushing teeth, bathing, wearing clean clothes, and not wearing shoes in the house are all part of maintaining a Muslim's cleanliness and health. Even in consuming halal food, he should not overeat, but eat moderately. The Prophet (saw) said:” Be always a little hungry,” your stomach should have one-third food, one-third air, and one-third water,” and “kill not your heart with excessive eating.”
