About National Beer Day
United States
Ends: Apr 07, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
On April 7, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's signature repealed the Volstead Act, thus beginning the end of prohibition in the US with the legalization of 3.2 percent beer.
In December of that year, the 19th Amendment, prohibiting alcohol, was repealed.
PROHIBITION TODAY
Only 11 countries remain completely dry (not even found in hotels). All are Muslim-majority countries.
Afghanistan
Bangladesh
Brunei
Iran
Libya
Kuwait
Pakistan
Saudi Arabia
Sudan
Somalia
Yemen
The Maldives and Mauritania are also dry countries; however, both depend on tourism and serve alcohol in high-end hotels and resorts but prohibit it in the rest of the country. Now that it has opened to tourists, Saudi Arabia is considering a partial lift on its prohibition.
India includes many dry provinces in its Muslim-majority areas, and The Emirates of Sharjah, one of the United Arab Emirates, is also dry.
Some airlines extend the prohibition of these nations' gate-to-gate, no matter where you travel.
For example, India Air will not serve alcohol on any flight originating in dry countries or going to dry countries. However, most airlines will serve once you hit 10,000 feet or are outside the dry nation's border, whichever comes first.
The list of major airlines that are alcohol-free are:
Saudi Arabian Airlines
Pakistan International Airlines
Kuwait Airways
Egypt Air
Iran Air
Royal Brunei Airlines (will allow you to bring your own onboard);
Malaysia Airlines ("dry" on flights of three hours or less).
For non-Muslim ex-pats (like this writer) living and working in one of these dry countries, when we leave for any reason, we first want an ice-cold beer or a nice glass of wine (and usually bacon too).
