The consumption and sale of alcohol in Afghanistan was also banned during the previous Western-backed government, but the Taliban has taken a hard line against it because it considers itself a staunch supporter of Islam. After seizing power in the country on August 15, the Islamic government has launched a nationwide raid campaign against the sale of alcohol.
