Alcohol consumption in Morocco

Marrakech- The World Health Organization says in its latest on alcohol consumption that Moroccans are more exposed to the risk of liver cirrhosis or road accidents than other North Africans. The report says that Moroccans drink an average of 0.9 liters of alcohol per year, slightly higher than average in the eastern Mediterranean region.

Tunisia drinks more alcohol than Morocco at 5.7%, with Morocco at 5.4% and Algeria tops the bill at 9.3%. Approximately 91% of Moroccan men and 97% of Moroccan women do not drink alcohol.

The element of free will is an important part of Moroccan life. Morocco is a Muslim majority country, and Islam forbids alcohol consumption. However, there are bars in the Ville Nouvelle which are frequented by Moroccans who mainly drink beer.

Moroccan wine is enjoyed by tourists and Moroccans alike. You can see Moroccans buying wine and beer in liquor stores. Alcohol is also available in supermarkets like Acima, Carrefour, and until recently, Marjane.

Regular alcohol consumption is more common in Western countries, and the truth is that tourism in Morocco would be seriously damaged if alcohol were banned. The fact that Moroccans do drink is an indication that free will does exist in a Muslim country .

Morocco stands out in the Maghreb for its stability and the welcome it extends to all who are visiting the country. Moroccan wines are excellent and are seeing even more effective cultivation and development by French and Moroccan wine makers and making significant profit both for themselves the Moroccan economy.
