Alcohol in Sudan
Alcohol in Sudan has been broadly illegal since 1983, when the single-party Sudan Socialist Union passed the Liquor Prohibition Bill, making illegal the manufacture, sale, and consumption of any form of alcohol for the Muslim citizens of the country.[1]
Colonial government
During the period of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (1899-1956), the British colonial government enacted several pieces of legislation limiting alcohol in the country:
- 1899: prohibited import and sale without a license[2]
- 1903: prohibited production and sale of all alcoholic beverages without a license, including traditional brews like marisa (millet beer)
- 1919: prohibited production, sale, or possession of araqi (date gin) or marisa without a license
