I'm not going to claim that this is representative of ALL expats, but for many, why would they trek all the way out to the pearl for food and no booze?
Thank about it - if only a few people were ordering alcohol at the pearl, no one would have been complaining and it wouldn't have been banned. Logically it only follows that so many people were ordering alcohol that it enraged the local community - therefore the amount of money the restaurants were pulling in from alcohol sales must have been substantial.
PS - here is the feedback from expatwoman.com
