is what the majority of Qataris want so I am not surprised that wasn't more widely available. At the same time, I don't think it's a bad thing to stage a WC with more controls over alcohol. You have to admit that drunken yobs can spoil a good match if they get carried away. The issue would be whether there is enough to do outside of attending matches that make Qatar a pleasant tourist destination as well as being able to properly stage an event on such a scale. At present I would say no, but a lot can happen between now and 2022.
I also think that FIFA should consider whether Qatar will stage things according to their rules (meaning all ticket holders would be treated equally, with fair access and proper security). In the final analysis FIFA can't really say we won't give it to you because of alcohol ;)
