Guys' Purchases in Morocco

So I'm out of town, in a small city, this weekend for some training. After training sessions today, we all went out to get some things to eat, and to go shopping.

Tonight I was in a small supermarket waiting to make a purchase. There were many men waiting to buy cigarettes and alcohol. (Keep in mind that in Morocco, a Muslim nation, cigarettes and alcohol are generally forbidden. But not all Moroccans follow the religious, social, and cultural norms in Morocco.) I found it rather amusing that as all these guys were buying alcohol and cigarettes, I was waiting to buy a liter of milk to go with the cookies I had just bought at the nearby bakery.
