Greeker yes there is Alcohol in Qatar now.
But Qatar is a Muslim country and the fact remains that the majority of Qataris are against alcohol in Qatar. When they start voting, which according to the hopefuls will be soon, you don't need to be a genius to predict that will campaign against alcohol in the country and were not talking about just the zany religious demography, I'm referring to the balanced moderate Qatari's whom when given that right will be coming out of the woodwork.
So don't be so sure ascertaining "who says it will not be MUCH MORE freely available in 13 years" in time for the Big Party.
It has nothing to do with mentalities changing, it's their religion and their country and just as many have expressed that Muslims must assimilate and adopt the culture of the Western countries they have chosen to call home, wouldn't you think it's wise and fair to extend the same pragmatism and respect you expect from them in your home, knowing that although a country can develop in many ways there is something non-negotiable regarding the Qatari's creed and religion and expect the Qatari populous to exchange a religion they hold dear for the sake of their guests.
Instead why don't you adopt newer aspirations involving Qatar. More affable ones by approaching this need for alcohol with measured doses of realism, forbearance & gallant courtliness in order to truly embrace the sprit of Qatar.
Am I to understand from the opinions stated above that the concept of not having a beer fuelled World Cup Big Party without being armed with mood altering spirits is the only norms according to their lifestyle? That in every event leads to drunken hooliganism, please don't come back at me with this doesn't apply to all drinkers. But what does apply to all drinkers is this simple question.
Why not empower your lives with no dependency on Alcohol, is the outcome so bleak of living in an untainted un-induced form of happiness so alien. Then perhaps it's a psychological problem in need of anti depressants if one cannot function without inducing good moods?
Think about it if teetotalers can rev up the spirit for a world cup game then aren't you all entightled to the same level of independence & control of your bodies?
Not only is non dependency on spirits to uplift questionable moods a liberating feeling It's a great state of existence to ones health and your pocket books as well.
As for the Government, they really should reassess the need to cater to the alcohol dependant fans & tourists because ultimately they are doing them a disservice. Why not solve the many other tribulations they often write about instead of numbing their senses. Since living in Qatar a lot of people are drinking more heavily than they were back home.
If, off course the introduction of more alcohol is a business and source of economy for the duration of the World Cup in Qatar, then it's still isn't worth it because it won't come anywhere near the cost of hosting the event with the air-conditioned stadium and the 'surprises'
Pragmatism is a good thing, as the writers wrote above Qatar should leave the world cup to those who can host it on every level.
Greeker one more things you also wrote "2016 ...
It was a clear injustice on the part of the International Olympic Committee to choose other cities, like Rio de Janeiro, over Doha for the 2016 Games, despite us scoring significantly better than them."
Who is 'us'?
NUCLEAR WEAPONS: IF AMERICA AND ISRAEL CAN HAVE THEM - THEN SO SHOULD IRAN.
