Alcohol consumption was officially banned in 1977 in Pakistan. Non-Muslims and foreigners are allowed to drink alcohol, and some four- and five-star hotels in the country have licences to serve it.

The footage comes after a video scandal involving singer Rabi Peerzada rocked Pakistan.

Peerzada claimed that her videos were stolen from her phone which she had sold some time ago, requesting the people not to spread the clips in which she is seen stripping naked before camera.
