"Qatar allows consumption to both Qatari nationals and expatriates in five-star hotel restaurants and bars. Expatriates with a valid alcohol licence can also purchase alcoholic drinks from authorised stores." This is similar to the situation here in Utah, but due to Mormons. There are bars where you have to be a "member" or buy a temp membership, except at the airport - where Utah like to pretend it's normal. All "hard" booze can only be sold for home consumption at state-owned liquor stores. Beer is sold in grocery stores, but is 3.2% alchohol, or what most states call near beer. The Mormons don't like drinking, and do all they can to discourage it.
