Since the regime change following Iran's 1979 revolution, the Islamic Republic has banned alcohol in the country and has made its consumers punishable by lashing, fines and incarceration. Despite the country's strict policies against alcohol consumption, about 16 to 20 million gallons of alcohol are smuggled into the country each year, of which police seize only about 25 percent, according to officials.

Some convert their own alcohol, called araq, which contains 45 percent pure ethanol. It is typically diluted before consumption and can be dangerous because of the ethanol utilized in distillation methods.

Despite strict punishments and confiscation of millions of gallons of alcohol, Iranian officials say consumption is on the rise.
The country's newspapers recently reported that the amount of confiscated alcohol has increased by almost 70 percent this year.

Wow, and we thought our laws are out of wack!

Umf. Shariah law is slowly creeping into all of our western countries.

Seems not to be working if even under penalty of death they still smuggle in 20 million gallons a year. Maybe araq is that dam good, anyone ever try it? Ok , it's like absinthe but only with aniseed. I could dig that but not die for it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arak_(distilled_beverage" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow)

Bullshit!

As far as the story goes though I think I'd check the source before believing the crap spouted by Fox.

Spoke to an Iranian that told me most villages have someone makin' something. Really low tech. Sugar, water, yeast, crude pot distillation. Everybody knows, nobody tells.

Just what I heared.
