  • Alcohol Legal: No [Note: Foreign passport holders of non-Muslim nations can drink in some licensed restaurants and bars (and expatriate clubs) and can purchase imported alcohol from ‘diplomatic bonded warehouses’ at a hefty rate of sales duty (Approximately 300%). Holders of diplomatic passports and some other specially privileged persons (such as U.N. employees) have ‘passbooks’ which entitle them to buy imported alcohol from the same ‘bonded warehouses’ duty free. Often duty free and duty paid prices are shown alongside one another. Bangladesh nationals of any religion may purchase alcohol from special outlets with a medical certificate. Illegal homemade liquor (known as ‘Mod’ or ‘Bangla’) is widely consumed in rural areas. The (mostly Christian) Garo tribal folk also brew a strong rice beer called ‘Choo’. Christians are permitted to use wine for Holy Communion.]
