Oh right you are. I must have imagined it all of those years I flew in and out of Saudi. Of course they were quite happy for me to bring a litre of Gin in with me.

I am, believe it or not, not a practicing Muslim and have no religious requirement not to drink alcohol. So if Saudi was not forcing me to abstain what was happening?

Don't say it is a Muslim country so no alcohol as I have a home in Turkey which is 98% Muslim and have enjoyed many a locally produced beer.
