are you able to drink alcohol in public in Qatar. Ie: are there bars/pubs? or can you only drink at home. When i was living there as a kid, i can remember my parents drinking beer and wine at home. But are you able to go to any pubs? Do you need a permit to buy alcohol? 

i was thinking of stopping off for a little holiday in Dukhan where i used to live but i dont wanna go there and not be able to go for a drink. especially since its hot over there.
