Is drinking considered a taboo

For context, I am studying in a college in Jammu, but I am originally from a village near Shahabad, Kurukshetra. Most of my friends are from South Haryana, including places like Rewari, Hisar, and Mahendragarh. I drink, and my father knows about it. He is not very strict regarding this matter. As far as I know, my grandfather and great-grandfather also drank, and in my village, drinking in moderation is generally not considered a taboo. However, my friends in college, who also drink, say that if their families found out about it, they would face severe consequences. Drinking is seen as unacceptable in their families, which makes it difficult for them to talk openly about it. I just wanted to ask if there is a divide in this matter between north and south haryana or my village is an exception. Also they are also from villages not any cities.
