背景和目的在不同的国家，已经出台了许多政策来减少酒精的危害。然而，穆斯林占多数的国家（MMCs），主要宗教（伊斯兰教）禁止饮酒，有欠发达的民间酒精政策。总体而言，MMC的酒精消费流行率较低，尽管最近大多数MMC一直在经历转型，这有时会增加酒精供应的压力，并影响社会习俗，酒精政策和更广泛的公共卫生。全球化、全球酒精行业的影响、最近的政府过渡或政治不稳定以及来自非穆斯林国家的移民的存在都可能影响公民酒精政策。在这种情况下，与20年前相比，总体消费有所增加。本文介绍了一个概述，目前的民事酒精政策，关于存在或不存在的禁酒令，并提供了一个深入了解酒精的法律的可用性在MMC和面临的挑战policy.MethodsEnglish，阿拉伯语和波斯语的来源进行了检查，使用PubMed，每个国家的政府网站和世界卫生组织（WHO）。一些MMC可能面临的挑战，在制定酒精政策进行了探讨，包括需要与全球经济和酒精industry.ConclusionMuslim占多数的国家通过了一系列的民事酒精政策，在最近几十年的潜在影响。迫切需要更好的数据，并支持穆斯林占多数的国家制定酒精政策。穆斯林占多数的国家的经验教训可以帮助世界其他地区。
Background and AimsMany policies have been introduced to reduce alcohol harm in different countries. However, Muslim majority countries (MMCs), where the major religion (Islam) prohibits alcohol consumption, have less well-developed civil alcohol policies. Overall, MMCs have low prevalence of alcohol consumption, although recently most MMCs have been undergoing transition, which has sometimes increased pressure for alcohol availability and impacted on social practices, alcohol policies and broader public health. Globalization, the influence of the global alcohol industry, recent governmental transition or political instability and the presence of immigrants from non-Muslim countries can all affect civil alcohol policy. In this context, consumption overall has increased compared with two decades ago. This paper presents an overview of current civil alcohol policy, with regard to the presence or absence of alcohol prohibition, and provides an insight into the legal availability of alcohol in MMCs and the challenges facing policymakers.MethodsEnglish, Arabic and Persian language sources were examined, using PubMed, government websites for each country and the World Health Organization (WHO). Some of the challenges MMCs may face in developing alcohol policies are explored, including the need to interact with the global economy and the potential influence of the alcohol industry.ConclusionMuslim majority countries have adopted a range of civil alcohol policies in recent decades. There is a pressing need for better data and to support Muslim majority countries in alcohol policy development. Lessons from Muslim majority countries can help to inform other parts of the world.
