 There is a considerable amount of scholarship on Jinnah which stems from Pakistan ; according to Akbar S. Ahmed , it is not widely read outside the country and usually avoids even the slightest criticism of Jinnah . According to Ahmed , nearly every book about Jinnah outside Pakistan mentions that he drank alcohol , but this is omitted from books inside Pakistan . Ahmed suggests that depicting the Quaid drinking alcohol would weaken Jinnah 's Islamic identity , and by extension , Pakistan 's . Some sources allege he gave up alcohol near the end of his life .
