You are only legally allowed to consume alcohol in licensed establishments (i.e. 5* hotels, Rugby Club, etc.) or in the privacy of your own home.
Technically, you're not allowed to take a bottle to a friend's house for dinner or anywhere else. You are not allowed to gift or sell booze to anyone else either.
These are the laws of Qatar. Do they get "bent" by many people, yes. But it is important to be aware that there are legal consequences if you get caught or reported. Drinking on beaches was never allowed, does it happen, yes. Be discrete and have someone else do the driving. DUI is a whole other ball of wax.
