Is it possible to drink alcoholic beverages at Iranian ski resorts?

score:7

Accepted answer

According to at least one source, yes:

Despite the rigid separation between men and women on the ski lifts, and often on the courses themselves, visitors revealed that on the mountain slopes, in the hotels and inns, one could drink alcohol, hear female singles and mingle freely until all hours of the night. "Just like many other things in Iran, everyone simply turned a blind eye," Dome explained. As a result, the resorts are an ideal love nest for many Iranian couples.

Alcohol is legal for Christians in Iran. I guess a Christian tourist can have it as long as it is done in a Christian venue. I feel that changes to this legislation is coming soon and alcohol will be more legalised in Iran for all Iranians due to the failure of prohibition. Alcohol ban is a misinterpretation of Islam anyway as is so much else that is laid out by 'Islamic' regimes (Islam warns about the dangers of it rather than banning it and actually admits a little wine is a good thing: moderate consumption in other words is allowed). I think Iran's current reformist government are seeing the errors in the ways of former governments and reforming a lot of the nonsense.

Even if it's possible, it's ILLEGAL and therefore the answer is NO. If you want to drink alcohol, just go somewhere else.
