Drinking Culture in Myanmar

http://birma.com/drinking-and-nightlife-in-myanmar

I had an opportunity to travel to Myanmar with a group of Dayak business people. While there I saw a lot. some probably not seen and felt by ordinary tourists.

One special feature of Burmese life was of particular interest to me.

The people of Myanmar are mainly Buddhist, so in general, drinking is not a problem and on an average women don't drink.

Officially, those aged 18 years and below are not allowed to buy or sell alcohol.

But like many Asian countries, there are a lot of people bending the law and enjoying alcohol, but not openly.

And in most official functions, alcohol is not served. That is cool to me.

Liquor and wines are cheaper than beer.
