In some parts of Somalia and Ogadenia, girls aren't supposed to drink tea. The taboo is that bahalka gets softer if they drink too much tea...
Walaahay I heard that..

I don't about bahalka, but I heard they shouldn't drink for some reason I forgot at the moment, lakiin I think the elders and men made that up purposely so there would be less people to drink tea, with the scarcity of tea back then!
But now everyone drinks it!! Its not a taboo anymore!
