Religious Moroccans tend to abstain from alcohol, but the excellent wine that can be found here makes up for this. In Morocco, almost 94% of the population is Muslim, so the use of intoxicants is largely prohibited by their religion.
In Morocco, it is prohibited to sell alcohol in establishments that have a view of a mosque. This law is quite old, and as a result, most of the population does not drink alcohol. While it's fun for them to call their mint tea "Moroccan whiskey," most Moroccans avoid drinking it, at least in public.
