The social and legal landscape around alcohol in the Middle East is complex due to a variety of factors, including cultural and religious norms. While some countries have strict restrictions or outright bans on alcohol, others, particularly those with large expatriate populations, have more liberal policies.

Public and Legal: In many parts of the region, public intoxication and drinking are illegal and can lead to severe penalties. Laws vary widely, with some countries requiring licenses to purchase or consume alcohol.

Cultural Context: Islamic law prohibits alcohol consumption, and this is a significant influence on societal attitudes, even in places with legal exceptions. This context is important for understanding the societal norms and potential health impacts.
