[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Iraq bans the sale of alcohol

Posted: 10/25/2016 12:14:20 PM EDT

Baghdad
(AFP) - Secular Iraqis woke up feeling hungover on Sunday, after a
surprise parliament vote they claim is unconstitutional and shows that
dominant religious parties have their priorities wrong.

An
article banning the sale, import and production of alcohol was slipped
into a draft on municipalities and caught the anti-ban camp flat-footed
on Saturday.

The
scores of small alcohol shops in central Baghdad were already closed
because of the holy Muslim month of Muharram, and now their owners and
employees are fuming.

"We
don't have another job -- our families will lose their income," said
Maytham, who owns a shop selling all kinds of locally produced and
imported beers, wines and spirits in Baghdad's central Karrada district.

Some of the best people I ever met over there were the owners of the beer shops. I really hate to hear this.
