Do the Cham drink?
Biking around Chrouy Changvar today, I got to thinking: do the Cham drink, in general? Of course some would, but different Muslim cultures around the world have different takes on the alcohol things. Muslims in Bosnia and Azerbaijani drink as part of their regional culture, for example. How about here?
I know quite a few Chams, and yes, when out with Khmers at weddings and other social events, they'll knock them back as much as the next, but normally deny it the next day.
None will eat pork though, much like my chums who nominally follow the word of the Mighty Mo back in the UK: booze and drugs are a grey area, pig flesh is always a no-no. Although I once met an Iranian student who'd just landed in Luxembourg and I let stay at my place for a few days.
Nice chap, first thing he did was go down the local mini-mart and come back with a 6 pack of beer and a big German type salami. "You have no idea how long I've waited to do this" he told me. True story.

I've had many Cham friends here over the years. The guys all drink beer, but as above shun pork. I have known a lesbian Cham chick for probably more than ten years who could drink most guys I know under the table. I know a lot of her family and most have been educated abroad and somewhat conservative when it comes to women's rights but it's not exactly Saudi Arabia.
