How much of a role does alcohol play in your lives? - page 9.

That doesn't mean it's that hard to get a drink though, even if you're a muslim. I've heard a few stories from arabic friends I know. If you ask "Do you serve alcohol here?" in a restaurant, they will probably say "No". However, if you just order alcohol like it was the most natural thing to do, many will serve you. Maybe not in Saudi Arabia though, none of them has tried as far as I know.

Yes... In Saudi Arabia it is pretty tough. Never order alcohol under any circumstances, or you'll have a lot of trouble. If you really want alcohol, then just travel to the neighboring United Arab Emirates. There it is legal for the foreigners (banned to the locals though).

believe me there is a way of making an alcohol my husband is in saudi arabia and when they socializing there is always be a sadike in their table Cheesy

Well it sure looks like it is. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't get a drink when I really needed one.

When do you ever really need a drink?

Believe me, there are times in life when you need one. Even if you did not drink your whole life. Of course I think of countries where alcohol is common and not of some strange ones.

Sounds like a crutch. Why not use other drugs?

Don't work in Saudi Arabia then. The salaries are not that great and they prefer South Asian slave labor to European and American workers. The climate is extremely intolerable as well.

Someone paid attention in their History class? Where are you from?
Drinking is popular everywhere. Cheesy

Not everywhere. Try that in Saudi Arabia, and you will get 1,000 lashes. The migrant workers sometimes prepare home-made brew, but the Arabs (i.e the natives) usually stay away from it.

Well it's a strict Muslim country so alcohol is forbidden. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_alcohol_prohibition
