How can a nozir fulfill the mitzvah of drinking four cups of wine at the passover seder?
p.s. It is not a riddle. My son asked me this question, and I don't know what to answer him.
Answer
If he can indeed drink wine for this purpose (as per the sources cited in WAF's answer and the comments there), then that's that.
Otherwise, though: there are opinions that even for the Four Cups one can use chamar medinah (a beverage used as the national drink of importance, e.g., beer or mead) - Rema to Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 483:1. Now, a nazir is permitted to drink those; he's prohibited only to consume grape products. So he might be able to use chamar medinah for his Four Cups.
