Mind you … Alcohol is the biggest killer of people in the world and related to a whole plethora of crime/sin … including rape, etc … This man in the best case scenario was holding a lot of alcohol illegally. In the worst case scenario he was manufacturing the stuff and distributing it and consuming it probably selling it. The punishment was well known and the risk was taken. Leniency might set a bad precedent.

Yes. He was also probably assaulting his house help while consuming alcohol.

No that’s a different person.
