What happens
A wise and pious sultan of the Ottomans, Murad IV, managed to quell the corruption that had grown during the reigns of previous sultans with policy changes such as limiting wasteful spending. His most pious commands, though, was to ban alcohol, tobacco and coffee in Constantinople. To enforce the banishment, he patrolled the streets and taverns of Constantinople in civilian clothes at night, ordering execution for all who broke the ban. A ruthless supporter of alcohol prohibition, yet Murad IV was partial to drinking and wrote poems about his thirst. 'Even if the rivers became wine, they wouldn't fill my glass' - 'The wine is such a devil that I have to protect my people from it by drinking all of it'.
