Ramadan in Bahrain = NO BOOZE????

What's the deal...?

Last year the wonder-wizards in parliament decided (AFTER Ramadan had alREADY started) to kibosh sales of booze, PERIOD! What a WASTE for all of the bar owners, etc, who suddenly had to lay off their staff (not to mention the poor staff being turfed out on their butts with zero warning and now what to do with budget planning, etc?!). Will it be the same this year?

Yes, one can stock up and quaff at home, but deciding on making further eroding changes to peoples life-style based on which way the wind blows only ends up being yet another nail in the coffin, if you ask me.

Those that want not, or "should not", NEED not. It's that simple! And for those who like to have a beer or two while watching a game on the big-screen in a pub, etc, are stuck wondering "WTF?!". Creeping rule-changes serve only to drive people from coming here...

Inquiring minds want to know.
