I was particularly unimpressed to learn about the alcohol brewing and drinking culture among expats in Saudi Arabia. E.g. a certain episode of 'Banged Up Abroad'.

BTW: Your link is wrong concerning Iran. It says that Iran has an alcohol prohibition, but it's only for Muslims. Non-Muslims e.g. Armenian Christians can brew and buy/sell alcohol, and it seems then not uncommonly illicitly sell it to Muslims as well.

Wikipedia Article on 'Alcohol in Iran'.



I was interested to read in your link that there is prohibition in several Indian states. I didn't know that.
