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)
