Western economy is going downward while Qatar's economy is upward. Now if that is fake or somehow made to look that way, I am not an economist.

Now if you will tell me that a restaurant business is somehow a "hostage" of the necessity for a booze, then let us just AGREE to disagree.

BTW, I drink! Occassionally, definitely my way, not the western way! In the first place, I am NOT a westerner. Lol!

Out of curiosity, if the state decided to rule that every person will have a limit of 200ml of wine or beer or whatever alcohol, will that be a good compromise? Will complaints stop? Will they want more?
