Closet drinkers. Pay enough money and you can get alcohol everywhere, including booze parties in the midst of Teheran. It has been covered e.g. here: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/drunk-i...

Reminds me of an Iranian friend I had. We were talking once about weddings in different cultures, and I asked her about Iranian weddings. She laughed and told me that despite the ban on alcohol, every man at an Iranian wedding ended up drunk "somehow".
