Yes and no. At least one sect interprets the prohibition of alcohol
literally. They simply pour the first drop of of the alcoholic everage on
the ground thereby fulfilling the letter of the Koran which forbids A DROP
to pass your lips. :-) Other sects consume strong distilled spirits and
beverages fermented from things other than grapes. Al-Islam is a religion
which like Christianity (or any other) is composed of many sects and schools
so blanket statements seldom hold true for all adherents of Islam except in a
most general way.
