start of a new year

Well, the new year has come. We celebrated with a party at the weekend - hall packed with people and not a drop of booze anywhere. Fruit, rice, vegetable stew, bread, juices, tea and coffee, and cakes. Then music performed live by some talented young people.
That was the New Year party for members of the Baha'i Faith and their friends in Nottingham. New Year's day itself (March 21 in the Gregorian calendar) was a day for visiting the sick and elderly, hospitality and making new friends.

alright if you're a teatotal veggie I suppose, for the rest of us you'd have to turn up drunk and visit the kebab shop afterwards. Is it possible to celebrate the new year without meat and alcohol?

why no alcohol or meat? is this not allowed by your faith?
