Abstract:
Alcohol consumption is the serious issue in the Islamic countries especially in Pakistan. In Pakistan alcohol consumption is partially legal and available to non-Muslims at licensed liquor stores and hotel bars. Sales through stores not allowed in the month of Ramazan and on Fridays. But still it has been used in the country by different seller and because of this our youth is getting involved in alcohol addiction. In the current review we highlighted the laws of Pakistan against the alcohol usage and selling. Although alcohol is forbidden in Islam but still in 56% of Muslim countries, the use of alcohol is completely legal, 16% and 8% are the muslin countries where the use of alcohol is partially and conditionally legal respectively. While only in 16% countries are their where there is complete ban on Alcohol (data of 49 countries).Its mean that beside forbidden in Islam, alcohol is been used in many Islamic countries openly, so this may be the main reason that underage use of alcohol consumption has been increased. Underage alcohol consumption may leads to different physicals and mental problems in young generation. So to control the underage alcohol use strict law should be made to control the spread of underage alcohol use.
