It is impermissible to work in the manufacturing or packaging of intoxicants, or to assist in it in any way. An exception is made for genuine necessity that permits committing what is unlawful, such as the absence of any other work to cover the essential needs of a person and those they support. In such a case, the unlawful portion of their salary should be removed once their necessities are met by the remainder.
