It's been my experience that the only consistent thing about religions is that one can choose to follow it closely or barely at all...ty-tek wrote:Loads of them are here in the UK and they drink as much as we do.

But hashish is easy to get and permitted under Talibani Islam. Hmmm. If I lived in Pakistan I think I'd learn to like the pipe instead of the dram.
Of course, a real entrepreneur would buy a date farm. Date palm wine is permitted by the Prophet Mohammed. A little Yankee maple-tapping ingenuity, some good yeast, and my gawd how the money could roll in.

I'm thinking it would be a way to sell (mildly) alcoholic beverages in Talibani areas without getting shot or in the government-controlled parts without going broke paying bribes.
