Relax, absolutely. I wish. There is always this west meets east debate going on here, and nobody getting the big picture. The west (for me that is Europe, US, etc) is full of hypocrisy and plenty of faults......none of which I will defend. Every country does. The problem here is that as soon as you even mention a problem about qatar certain people jump down your throat. It's like these people take it as a personal insult.

It's not personal.

Regarding drunk drivers.........you hear the news in Europe every Sunday morning, how this or that kid died in a car accident due to excessive drinking. Yes it's a sad fact of life. People should not drink and drive.

What gets me is that certain people here think that just because Qatar does not allow booze, that there are no drunken drivers of Arab origin. Hello? You should have seen the number of Saudi citizens coming across to Bahrain, getting drunk and driving back (or dying on the way back).
