Those here a awhile will remember.
The players in the "G wagon" incident were too far up the equality chain to ever be touched legally so that outcome was a forgone conclusion. However in this case, and since this gentleman is a pilot carrying and Emirati passport, and given that aviation in the UAE is such an important part of the economy and development of the country, and that this incident may have embarrassed the country, I'd expect that there may be some influence by Sheik Mo that he spend some time reading the Quo-ran about the evils of alcohol as a "guest of the state". My guess is a year...with a pardon next Ramadan.
