Yup, it sure can, Smucks. The fake spirits, with the funny names, always make me smile. Even ES wouldn't drive anyone to drink those.

Rule of thumb when buying alcohol in egypt:
If it says "brewed & distilled in egypt" it's good for cleaning your bathroom, if it says "brewed & distilled under supervision of _____" it's safe to drink.

you can buy them at duty free shops within 24 hrs of entering the country. after that, only buy at al-ahram stores, they're called drinkies, and they're all over sharm, cairo, alex and deliver. a heineken that'll cost you 20-35LE from your hotel mini-bar, runs you 5LE at drinkies.

As VB said, if it is made in Egypt, beware. Buy at the duty free shops on arrival, if you are a tourist. In addition, present your passport within 48 hours (it used to be 24 - it can change, so check) after arrival, at Cairo or Red Sea or Luxor duty free shops, should you want more quality spirits.
You can buy beer from local suppliers anytime...plus Egyptian wine and fake spirits. Same with duty free, for Egyptian alcohol. Quality spirits, are for 48 hours only. I don't drink beer and rarely touch spirits, but the beer is good, I'm told. The red wine is comparable to a table wine, and ok with food. Egyptian residents have said you can have alcohol delivered, or so I thought, on ES.
PS: ExptinCAI has just mentioned Drinkies...that is the name I've heard of before!

What exactly is so deadly about the made in Egypt brands? I mean is it just horrible or really cheap like a MAD DOG 20/20? Posts: 13440 | Registered: Feb 2006
