Alcohol (Raksi or Madira) is Legal to produce 60 Litres of fermented beverage and distill 30 Litres Raksi per year for personal consumption, but it's illegal to sell home made Spirits Raksi in Nepal. The mixed society, coupled with caste and multiple ethnic results in extremely complex social behaviour. Based on the caste and religion, there are two types of people in Nepal depending upon alcohol uses. The group of people who do not drink or use alcohol are called Tagadhari (तगाधारी) (Holy Cord (Janai) Wearer), and the other group who drink alcohol are called Matawali. Generally, the Brahmins and Kshatriyas are the Janai wearer and do not drink alcohol, but with the exception of Matwali Chhetries of Karnali who are permitted to use alcohol. Matwali uses alcohol for their traditional purpos

  • Alcohol (Raksi or Madira) is Legal to produce 60 Litres of fermented beverage and distill 30 Litres Raksi per year for personal consumption, but it's illegal to sell home made Spirits Raksi in Nepal. The mixed society, coupled with caste and multiple ethnic results in extremely complex social behaviour. Based on the caste and religion, there are two types of people in Nepal depending upon alcohol uses. The group of people who do not drink or use alcohol are called Tagadhari (तगाधारी) (Holy Cord (Janai) Wearer), and the other group who drink alcohol are called Matawali. Generally, the Brahmins and Kshatriyas are the Janai wearer and do not drink alcohol, but with the exception of Matwali Chhetries of Karnali who are permitted to use alcohol. Matwali uses alcohol for their traditional purposes and generally brew alcohol by themselves. People such as Kirati people, Magar, Gurung, Tamang, Newars use alcohol freely. Traditionally, in the group of Matwali, males are allowed to drink freely while women are somewhat restricted to use alcohol. (en)
