Pakistan

In Pakistan it is perfectly legal to sell alcohol to non muslims. they even have a large scale brewery that markets within Pakistan and exports to other countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.15.64.50 (talk) 03:54, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say it's not contradictory to export domestically illegal products to foreigners. But when you say selling to non muslims, do you mean WITHIN the country? If so, how do they know who is or isn't a muslim? Is there some sort of ID?

India's map

Only 3 Indian states(one major, one not so major, and one minor state) have restrictions on Alcohol consumption. Gujarat bans for people of its state. Kerala has a rationing scheme, with Alcohol legal in 5star hotels, while Nagaland's laws are so lax that it is considered to be revoked. Regardless of the reasons, That ban is applicable for less than 10% of India's population. But this overwhelmingly small region isn't reflected in the map.

I propose for building a state-wise map for India too, as it exists for the US. Indian states have GDP's and populations rivaling those of many European countries, and have state-wise laws though not as independent as the US. Though India is a single country, most states have their own unique and rich set of Cultures,languages, cuisines,and even appearances thus making it wrong to reflect the interpretation in the form of a single map for the entire country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daiyusha (talk • contribs) 16:13, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

United States

Should we include any country that has a legal drinking age higher than the legal age of majority? megamalcs (talk) 22:53, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alcohol ban in Iraq

In late 2016, the Iraqi government has issued a nationwide alcohol ban with no exceptions (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/23/iraqs-parliament-passes-law-banning-alcohol). Could someone update the map accompanying the article to reflect this new situation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.248.53.61 (talk) 16:01, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sweden - clarify local variations

In many places alcohol laws are not solely national, but local affairs. They may also vary over time - what is allowed under Octoberfest is not permitted in Mars etc.

For example - in Sweden the national alcohol law is strict and uniform. Still it permits for local variations as in regards of 'public drinking' which is municipally ordained and part of the "communal ordenance" ("kommunal ordningsstadga".) In some municipalities it is legal. In most it is not. In most it is a "non-question" because of the sparsity of population, it is a formal prohibition that no one in reality, normally, can enforce. In some municipalities it is detailed and varied. You may drink alcohol in public in this square, this park, this islet, but not in any other places.

Sweden, par example, in this map illustration of this article should be rasterized to show that drinking alcohol in public is both prohibited and allowed. (Ideally in time with a map showing precisely where it is legal and not, and at what time one might accept allowance and when not.)CS 02:04, 23 October 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by CSjoholm (talk • contribs)

Lithuania

As UK has a note that in some parts sale is not permitted during a time range, Lithuania has a similar law that sale of alcohol in shops is permitted between 10:00 and 20:00 and 10:00 to 15:00 on Sundays. (Forgot to mention September 1st sale of alcohol is not permitted due to it being the start of the school year)79.117.224.131 (talk) 12:31, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
