At the party this afternoon
My cousin Ken and I are setting out the wine glasses.
Ken: Okay, I need a glass of wine right now. I haven't had a drink in months.
Me: Why? Oh wait, is Sudan an Islamic country?
Ken: Yup, Sharia law.
Me: Ahh. Here you go.
(No matter how many times I ask, I can never really understand what Ken does, although it has something to do with international development. He's currently on a short-term assignment in Sudan, but no matter where he is he always comes home for Christmas. Well, except when he was in the Peace Corps in the early 80's).

Not all Muslim countries forbid alcohol. I'm not sure how that's determined. Syria is technically a Muslim country, but all sorts of alcohols were sold there in stores.
It's a shame not to be able to have wine in Sudan. I'd imagine working there would be stressful and would require a glass of wine at the end of the day!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's!
