Introduction
Around the world, alcohol is consumed as a beverage alongside meals or within social situations, at pubs, and in the comforts of home. However, as widespread as it may be, the drinking of alcohol is not considered legal in many countries. This is due to a multitude of factors from public health government regulations and/or religious laws forbidding its consumption.
The most famous historical example of alcohol being made illegal was the prohibition era in the U.S. during the 1920s. It was a moral policy designed to reduce public intoxication but ended up backfiring terribly as people ended up either going abroad to drink or doing so at Speakeasies with smuggled liquor from Canada and Mexico.
Religiously, alcohol is considered “haram” (not permissible) in the Islamic faith, and so alcohol consumption is vehemently looked down upon in almost all muslim nations. However, it is only actively banned in a few muslim countries, mainly in the Middle East and North Africa, while some other countries have exceptions for their large non-muslim minorities or simply do not follow sharia law in governance.
