In Islam, Alcohol is forbidden to drink, but is allowed to be used for medical and other purposes, for example industrial use.

The word "alcohol" itself is among the List of exported Arabic terms.

Several Qur'anic verses, after interpretation from scholars, prohibit the consumption of alcohol, and dealing with such a beverage.


[edit] Tolerance of Alcohol in Islam

In some muslim countries (Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Albania, Bosnia, Indonesia, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates and Morocco), alcohol is well tolerated.
