Nuff said. I don't need to help EY Sheila dig a hole for herself, she's doing a great job on her own. "Chicken or Fish?"
DXBPilot, see that just isn't good enough for a lot of Western travellers. That is, they don't want to rely on the discretion of the authorities as to whether they will lock you up or not for drinking the airline supplied booze. I certainly don't want my freedom decided by some egocentric graduate from Acme University ("Get your degrees by post in 3 weeks, or your money back!!") who has been promoted to his position of power due to who his dad is.
I want the laws to do what they are supposed to do, protect the innocent and prosecute the guilty, and the fact that at a whim the authorities here can prosecute anyone they want for drinking airline supplied alcohol scares me and should scare anyone else flying into the UAE especially Abu Dhabi. Whether they use that power often is largely irrellevant, the point is they have the power to do this.
