At a conference in Abu Dhabi, we had a suto banquet with... a fan. It's been specified a long time since I've been drinking. I don't know.
The Arabs erstwhile drank alcohol and were a large civilization—doctors, mathematicians, astronomers. Muhammad (VI-VIII century) appeared, and it was recorded in the Qur'an that alcohol cannot be drunk, and since then the collapse of arabian civilization has begun. Europeans and Chinese have been drinking, and they've created large technologies. And the Arabs?
They have oil now, they're rich. Without oil, they would be a meaningless world.
But it's not just about alcohol. It's besides about human freedom. If he wants a drink, why forbid it?
It is said that you can apply for a licence to buy alcohol in the United arabian Emirates (see photograph above). Foreigners easy get such- UAE citizens alternatively not, although I fishy they are equal and equal in this country, and the second drink at home, or in costly hotels, and have the Quran in the same respect as the Marx Capital Communists.
There was a drink at my hotel. It was not inexpensive (at Sweden level), but besides available to Arabs dressed "in civil" that is, not in their white robes.
