Ya can smuggle yer booze in to Q8 without going to jail if caught. They simply take the bottle.
The old trick was to approach the custom officer with no beard. In other words the longer the beard, the more religous and eager to confiscate the bottle.
Lots of booze floating around Q8, we had a party every day.

Men, this is no drill...

We used to take in three or four bottles at a time. The bloke wearing the nightgown with the Customs badge on would look in our bags, only take one bottle and tell us alcohol is forbidden before waving us on our way.
If you want to brew your own beer take the plastic kits that you fill with water and hang on the back of your door. They don't show up on the x-ray.
Final piece of advice. Book your weekend flights to Dubai well in advance because you really don't want to stay in Kuwait on your days off.

Careful lads - I know this was the sort of thing that went on "before the war", but I suspect it may have changed, so email one of the guys above before taking anything in with you and see how recent the info is. (don't email me as I don't live in Kuwait, but nearby, and I hear rumours)
Also, posts like this may come to the wrong eyes, with "changes of policy" as result

True enough ESG.
I was there after the war by the way, but my info is at least 7 years old.
Boring place really unless ya enjoy going to the suk (Forgot the spelling) every day.
Next time let Saddam have the place:
Don't know if I will let my tax money be used to kill 100,000 Arabs just so we can buy cheaper gasoline.
