Getting Drunk in Qatar

I'm a 21 year-old Brit about to move to Qatar and I'm somewhat confused about the attitudes towards drinking and being drunk in Qatar.

For example, in the UK it's quite normal to drink in a bar for a few hours and then stagger home (often visibly drunk). How would such behavious be recived in Doha? (I'd like to set the scene by noting that it would probably be at night with the individual causing no public disturbance at all.)

It's highly unlikely that you'll be walking anywhere, even after a skin-ful! But if you do find yourself considering it, it's certainly not recommended and it's likely you'd be arrested if you were seen visibly drunk outside.

Just imagine that you are levitating, instead of walking.

Sid Vicious style :D

Plenty o' drinkin' here. Just don't get caught, or there'll be a public hangin' matey ;)

Remember, no harm, no foul. If you don't disturb the peace, there will be no problem.
