Does the citys alcohol ban violates the free exercise clause


Problem

After a spate of drunken driving incidents involving drivers of all ages, the City of Imbibeton passed an ordinance banning the sale and consumption of alcohol. Responding to a query from the pastor of the local Catholic Church, the City Attorney clarified that there were no exceptions to the ordinance and that the city would prosecute any person found in violation of it. The church was concerned because sacramental consumption of alcoholic wine is an essential, accepted part of the Catholic Church mass. The ordinance effectively precludes the church from holding services within the city.

If challenged what standard of review would apply to the city's alcohol ban?
