Yes I totally agree with you. However, many of the local public opposes the sell of alcohol and have started expressing that publicly in many forums more than any time before.
In the other hand,many establishments were permmited to sell alcohol lately that includes restaurants at the pearl and recently opened hotels.
That's why some local writers have hinted about regulating the sell of alcohol in some articles lately.
As for pork, I understand that's a main ingredient in many dishes around the world. Allowing certain pork products can be essential with the influx of foreigners in the country. Even if the authorities approves the sell of pork , The question is whether the local partner will accept selling it at the local stores.
