    Found it:

    Abu Dawood (3674) and Ibn Maajah (3380) narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “May Allaah curse wine, the one who drinks it, the one who pours it, the one who sells it, the one who buys it, the one who squeezes (the grapes etc), the one for whom it is squeezed, the one who carries it and the one to whom it is carried.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

    From those types, I don't think it's haram to go into a non-halal shop.

    Just wondering what Muslims think of licensed halaal restaurants. I pass by one on my way to class; and it has "fully licensed" on a boardsign on the side walk, and the halaal symbol in the window (it's a Turkish restaurant fyi). If you were Muslim, would you eat there? Would you consider the mere presence of alcohol enough to deter you from eating there? (as Muslim cab drivers often refuse to serve customers who have alcohol they've purchased like at airport duty free etc.) What would you think of them serving alcohol to someone who they knew were Muslim?
    Nope,depending on if i havent got any other choice............there are loads of Muslim restaurants which don't allow alcohol inside.

    It doesn't matter if the restaurant has a 30-page wine list, it is permissible to eat there. The only thing that is prohibited is to eat at a table where alcohol is being served.

    We are talking about the religion from the stone ages here, This doesn't surprise me.
    This religion has began since human beings live in this world.It is word of God it doesn't matter if its revealed thousands of years ago or now,God is now how he has been thousands of years ago.If u are saying that this is religion of stone age than what about human kind did we come to existance in 2010 or thousands of years ago.So u are from stone age too.

    Cab rank rule - they're not allowed to.

    Oh and in case anyone has missed this, remember that many Turks go for an interpretation of Islam that allows alcohol. Best kebab place in Cambridge is the same...
    Alcohol is definitly haram.U don't have to give interpretation on that.

    No I don't throw rocks at people who've done wrong, Nor do I despise anyone who doesn't believe in what I believe.

    If you go to turkey, you will come across people who a) describe themselves as muslim, and b) drink alcohol. Religion is a personal thing, if that's their interpretation, what is it to do with you?

    Bro alcohol is haram in Islam.There aren't other interpretations on this.I have no doubs that some muslims drink alcohol,and this is their choice sure,and I cannot say that they aren't muslims just bcz they drink alcohol,but in Islam alcohol is definitly haram.That was my point.
