Egypt Actually Bans New Alcohol Licenses

Egypt Actually Bans New Alcohol Licenses

The nation of Egypt has decided that enough is enough, and has banned all new liquor licenses throughout the country in an effort to restrict alcohol usage. Egypt’s population is majority Muslim, of course, and under Islamic law alcohol is religiously forbidden anyway. And during the last year, the consumption of alcohol in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East has risen precipitously. Egyptian officials are worried that alcohol could pose an “annoyance to the public.”

Though most countries would not take as extreme measures as banning all new alcohol licenses, in fact the situation is fairly similar to what recovering alcoholics do under programs like Alcoholics Anonymous. If someone can’t drink without abusing alcohol, then they shouldn’t drink at all. And, for those who can handle drinking at all, the key principle is moderation. If you’ve been drinking to excess on a regular basis, or feeling like you need to have a drink, the chances are that you might have a problem with drinking. You should seek help now and begin to turn your life around.

If you have a problem with alcohol or drug abuse or know someone who does, you should seek help now for yourself or your loved one. Thankfully, there is good help available. Detoxification and behavioral therapy have proven to be effective in treating drug dependence. Addicts are often unable to complete treatment on their own or with family members, so it’s very important to seek the right treatment center.
