Yup...Alchohol was only 'suspended' from sales on the Pearl (not officially banned). Give them around 5 more months and it will return back to full Alchohol sales. This ban reminds me of a 1998 ban on women smoking 'Shisha' (Hookah Pipes). It was later lifted. Its kind of Qatars way to calm the religious left when they have an incident. I would of thought maybe a religious mans kid came back home drunk and filed a complaint or something? Just a guess.
