There might be laws against alcohol consumption in some of those countries, but they're EXTREMELY loose, and very rarely enforced. Infact, in the time I've been in all those countries, I've never seen one ever enforced. Hell, the cops used to sit and drink beers DURING Ramadan when the fast was broken! And so, in no way is it considered taboo to consume alcohol. No one's brainwashed out of it. It's on a completely different scale to being gay.
