I ate this with no radio or television on and was able to concentrate on my food and savour every delicious bite. I was really enjoying my breakfast when the bleep of a text message came through..... Bliss over!

Many muslims drink alcohol, hypocritical, okay, but drink alcohol they certainly do.
I guess I was talking about the technical 'rules' - what is required in the Koran and the Hadiths, not what happens in practice.
As we all know here, very few Muslims are fanatics -just like Christians really.
"Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day must not sit at table at which khamr is consumed.” – Ahmad & Tirmidhi
"Khamr" of course, is anything not halal -which most certainly includes booze.
" ... Staying with them even though you are not drinking alcohol yourself is still a sin in itself, because Allaah has commanded us not to sit in places where evil is committed ... " https://islamqa.info/en/20959
Question: A Muslim enters a café and sits down at a table to drink tea, then a stranger comes at the same table to drink wine. Is it obligatory upon the Muslim to stop drinking tea and leave?
Answer: Yes, it is obligatory to move away from that table.http://www.sistani.org/english/qa/01123/
