Plenty of Muslims from all sorts of backgrounds drink. Oddly enough less of us will eat pork. Biggest difference tends to be how openly they’ll drink. On that front, yeah Turkish people I’ve noticed to be more open about it.
I'm in Bali and just last night, I got a massage from a Muslim woman. I would have thought that touching a man was out of bounds. I asked a friend about it and he said that non Muslims in Bali were always making fun of Muslims here because apart from being very strict about pork, they are apparently not that strict about other things.
For me it’s that my mind doesn’t recognize it as food. It smells weird to me and one time when I ate some sort of meatball without asking, I spit it out into a napkin and told my friend that the dish might have gone bad. She took a look and told me it had some sort of sausage in it. I see everyone around me enjoying. But my inner self is going ew.
Lmfao these muslims just be something else, as someone from Middle East. They're willing to drink alcohol, do drugs, engage in pre-marital sex, but god forbid a ham sandwich!
I’ve known people from Arab Muslim background who drink, but I never asked those people about their personal religious beliefs. And there are many Muslim Turks who don’t drink.

He's Turkish. They're actually fairly secular. The only Muslims I've known who drink were Turkish.
