Is it permissible to deliver liquor to a patient in a medical institution?

Yes
No
Only if they request it
Only for alcohol addiction treatment

The correct answer is: No

Delivering liquor to a patient in a medical institution is generally not permissible due to health and safety concerns. Hospitals and medical facilities have strict regulations regarding the provision of alcohol, primarily to ensure the well-being of patients who may be under medical treatment or care that prohibits alcohol consumption. Providing alcohol could interfere with medications, recovery processes, or the overall therapeutic environment necessary for patient care. Furthermore, the legal framework surrounding alcohol consumption often emphasizes the need to maintain environments free from substances that could impair judgment or contribute to health complications, especially in vulnerable populations such as those in medical care. Therefore, the prohibition is in place to protect both the patients and the integrity of the medical institution.
