Man hides booze in his underpants while trying to cross to Saudi Arabia

A man goes extreme lengths in Saudi Arabia to smuggling 14 bottles of liquor into his underpants.

Alcohol is strictly forbidden in the country under strict Islamic law - and the man now faces a public lashing, alongside a lengthy jail sentence.

It’s believed that the man was returning from Bahrain - where booze is not illegal, and was caught on the King Fahd causeway that links the two countries with the bottles concealed under his robes.

Although authorities usually believed to take a softer approach to expatriates drinking in Saudi Arabia - as long as it is consumed in sealed quarters.

Another option is to make booze yourself - an endeavour which previously saw British expatriate Karl Andree facing the prospect of 350 lashes for making wine before he was eventually pardoned.
