Alcohol was made illegal in 1952 by the then King of Saudi Arabia, King Ibin Saud. After a confrontation with his Son the Crown Prince and another man inwhich the other man was killed, King Saud exhonerated his Son of the fatal crime inwhich Saudi law would have executed any other and consequently outlawed Alcohol through out the Saudi kingdom.
