About alcohol in strict Muslim countries

This was my first photo while traveling in Iran.

We were still surprised and laughed, supposedly, so, it was worth flying from Russia to Iran to buy Baltika-0 here.

But only non-alcoholic beer could be satisfied here, because alcohol is prohibited by law in Iran.

As banned in several other strict Muslim countries - Iran, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Brunei, Bangladesh, Pakistan, in the northern part of Sudan, etc. Moreover, for illegal trade and use here you can get a pretty serious punishment.

In Iran and Saudi Arabia, there is a public whipping, regardless of gender, of up to 80 strokes (this punishment is imposed solely for drinking alcohol). And for relapse, you can "play out" before the death penalty.

In Oman, a prison term of 1.5 to 3 years.

In Bangladesh, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan, etc. alcohol is sold only to foreigners upon presentation of a passport.

First, I wanted to head this post, "Why are Muslim countries better than countries with developed democracies."

Indeed, on the one hand, it’s good to not meet drunken people, much less aggressive people, etc. on the street. But…

After all, these laws do not concern drinking in public places and not being intoxicated, but drinking in general.
So, it’s hardly possible to talk that it’s “better,” so I changed my mind with the name and message.

What do you think? Is a complete ban on alcohol following the example of Muslim countries good or bad?
