For Information
For those of us who do enjoy the occasional consumption of alcohol, please note the following information which was obtained from the Rugby Club Website:
“We have heard on good authority that Qatar Police are carrying out random breath tests on drivers. Most of us come from countries where it is acceptable to have a small amount to drink and then drive. It is worth noting that Qatar has a zero tolerance policy to alcohol, i.e. any amount of alcohol in your blood, no matter how small could result in a conviction. Apparently 10 expats have been arrested since Christmas, held in jail for 24 hours and then deported never allowed to return to Qatar. The bottom line is that if you have had so much of a sniff of alcohol, don't drive, get a taxi or a lift, it just isn't worth the risk.”
I believe that this is pretty sound advice.
Take care out there.
