Tamerlane    Saudis no stranger to John Barleycorn   7/6/2015 11:10:04 AM
Back about 1985 I was invited by a Saudi friend to a university graduation party attended by about 50 Saudi males who were going back home.  The party was held at a commercial camp ground and I can honestly say that if I wanted to bathe in Glenfarklas (of any other fine booze) I could have done so.  The point is, these young Saudis were very, very fond of alcohol, all held it very well and they built a huge fire and ran round it for hours singing the Muslim affirmation of faith (Lalli, d'lalli lalli...).  I can only conclude that for many generations alcohol has been consumed in the lands of the pure.
