Wanted to have it one last time before Ramadan starts i guess.
Why is it that news of people dying from poisonous alcohol is usually reported in the month of Ramzan? Just out of curiosity.
@Jack: Legalize alcohol will not stop poor people to drink cheap and dangerous alcoholic beverages. I live in Indonesia where alcohol is legal in mostly districts. But still there are always people who died due to consume cheap and illegal alcohol. Alcoholic beverages may be legal, but poor people will still buy illegal alcohol due to its price.
The best solution is guide people to not consume alcohol. I myself was alcohol drinker when I was young before I stop from this bad habit.
If you look at the 3 related articles all show the same: 5 or so people killed by tbis illegal moonshine alcohol. The solution is simple: legalize for those who wish to consume alcohol and let it be safe. Live and let live.
Do Muslims drink? Are they allowed to drink?
