Hi payscale,
You are right on mate.....everybody has to make his own decisions!
Actually, it is fairly easy to get alcohol on Doha once you know the appropriate channels to go through....I am sure you know what I mean!
Although I have to admit that nightlife is much much much much better in DXB then it is in DOH!
But hey, all I have to do is hop on a flight to DXB and I have fun there as well!
Keep it safe up there!
