Alcohol in Doha

that working offshore Doha was the 2nd most boring place on earth. So the follow up question was always what is the most boring place on earth? Reply - Onshore Doha!!!

Luckily alcohol was legalised here and some of the boredom slips away in the haze...

Hey guys, can someone tell me what are all the papers you need to get the alcohol liscence?? thanx

aske her and her filipno friend and chines gf

yu know what sheebu and her friends know more about alcohol and hot parties in doha more than we know and do here ...she is really cunning woman..and look at that fool mujahid so much he longing for her...

Invite friends round for a drink, get some snacks in. They will return the invitation and the group will grow.

Life was much better before all the bars opened.

Having the permit means plenty to drink in the house, only at some point you must find others to consume with you else you become an alcoholic. Drinking alone is one symptom.

I have lots of wine and beer and will share, just won't drink alone if it can be helped

Hmmm- which personality is coming out today?

I don't know what you would have done when there was only one "private" bar in Qatar. We had booze permits and most entertaining was done in the home. I'm sure it was better than meeting in so called "bars" that are devoid of any atmosphere.

Perhaps we should follow the example of many fine statesmen and always have a flask at hand for a quick nip.

Work might actually be interesting when slightly intoxicated.

Hmmm- which personality is coming out today?

makes me sad. I try to never not drink.

What is up with this alexis1 ans sheebu....as she felt the need to inject the damnable sheebu into my thread I had to track some of her posts....every last one i about sheebu.....you a a virus alexis1

Now back to pretending to work and planning my drinking for tonight....errr I meant socialising at local establishments with others.....

Hmmm- which personality is coming out today?

It is a work day so perhaps he is off making a living....we all work so hard in Doha that this board is most entertaining during work hours.

And I wasn't referring to the third ear just the grotesquely shaped nose on the malformed head..... Didn't even notice the third ear due to those other items.

Hmmm- which personality is coming out today?

yeah i really should have that third ear removed one of these days. but its so handy when I'm looking for my phone.

Tyler you should give permission to Truth for hijacking the thread. it was so entertaining this morning and now he's got all huffy and left :-(

Come on Truth- gimme watcha got buddy!

Hideous, I mean troll under the bridge hideous!!!!! ;)

or is that me? I get confused so easily

Hmmm- which personality is coming out today?

ha ha ha!!! come on Truth, dont give up. keep bantering with me this is very amusing :-)

yes I am an ugly chick. Just ask Tyler.

Liana, there must be an awful lot of gorgeous women here, judging by all the posts from other women of differing nationalities stating exactly the same thing

Or maybe you dont get harassed because of the complete opposite??

And im not hijacking this string any further.

You're born, you take s**t. You get out in the world, you take more s**t. You climb a little higher, you take less s**t. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what s**t even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake son.

Well, good for her. and good for you for having a lovely wife. dont try to pretend you were joking though, I know how snide you are about that topic he he he

No wonder your wife has so many troubles with men here. She must be gorgeous.

Because clearly you think that looks are the only reason anyone should consider dating anyone else.

For me I like intelligent conversation, but this obviously doesn't interest you. Each to their own!

Liana,

One thing I have learned is that you should never throw stones in glass houses.

If you cannot take a joke then dont try and make one, as for my wife well yep she is gorgeous to me also highly inteligent and a great conversationalist.

But hey thats my business.

You're born, you take s**t. You get out in the world, you take more s**t. You climb a little higher, you take less s**t. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what s**t even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake son.

Interesting thought, but then I thought you were after moderatly good looking men (even Poms)

I have been in Doha since September and not one drop has passed my lips. I am not much of a drinker but I am starting to crave a long vodka. Roll on the alcohol permit, just in time for xmas.

No alcohol makes me sad.

I still feel somewhat sad. However, I must care about my own behavior, too.

she will be answering maybe ..villa alcohol..teeheehee....and her party friends....heeheehee....fool! that guy mujahid....real fool...ass

Brandy without the rocks. Trying to keep warm and cozy.

Tyler - Why do we drink?.. Nah. 'What to drink' would be a better topic for discussion.

Here's my mix for a cold rainy Doha night.

2.0 oz of dark rum (pref. Old Monk)

0.5 oz Tia Maria

Top up with diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke (available at Megamart) in a highball glass, with ice.

Cheers!

I prefer to not put any more effort into a drink than opening the bottle, occasionally pouring it into a glass but either single shots or a pint does me well. In fact Mr. Anheiser and Mr. Busch are keeping me company tonight.

Hmmm- which personality is coming out today?

Great guys, cant wait to get to doha after all this exciting things that are waiting for me on my barrival. one week to go and let the good times roll

I always tell the truth, even when I lie

He must be a Fruity dietician today, with fruity luny tunes thoughts.

LOL

its bb and he is not sad

liana- are you trying to joke or be mean?

Hmmm- which personality is coming out today?

Life on Earth is not heaven. Many complain about boredom, traffic, treatment of others, etc.

We could try changing our routine. We could try drinking cocktail juices. I tried a juice that has honey, mango, etc. You coul try drinking Eastern drinks like mint tea, ginger in steamed milk,

Don't worry will make a split Banana sun-dance out of you in the middle. If you wish to join us.

LOL

:@

Maybe you can get a pink shirt and you and Tyler can get all touchy together he he he

I'm touchy Because, I'm not wearing a pink shirt myself.

LOL

Someone is a bit touchy about there alcohol consumption.

Kind of a mean way to say what you meant there.

Anyhow off to get a couple of pints with dinner

Who can take a guy in a pink shirt seriously?

Doctor, Please. Why are you wasting your time with your mental BAC analyzer? That woman officer is always lurking in the streets and public locations of QL.

Doctor, I'm a human being.

There is nothing wrong with me. I'm sober today, I could walk the straight line, I don't know about tomorrow but today I'm sober.

Doctor, Once in a while I need my antidepressant medicine in the form of distilled Spirits.

What did you said: Antidepressant pills? Are you out of your mind? No, Doctor is my slang for alcoholic beverages.

Doctor you have a gorgeous, cold and sober day.

I do believe that after the fun of work we have all had sitting on Qatarliving that a drink is definitely in order this evening. Maybe more than a few...what else is there to do before repeating my day again tomorrow?

Who can take a guy in a pink shirt seriously?

Are you trying to prove how sober you are?

i never use to drink weekdays before i came out here, and hardly ever at weekends either, now i find myself drinking every night- not getting drunk though, just drinking maybe one or two. never use to though. But where else can you get your kicks out here i hate going out in the evenings as it takes too long to get anywhere in the traffic ( and i dont finish work till late) so you just sit at home tv on drink in lap! But i figured that its when i need a drink in the morning before work i want to worry!! I find quite a few expats boring anyway all they do it talk about money, cars, jelwery,golf etc drives my brain ( please no offence here i put few- just the ones i have met... you know the i brought so and so crowd yuk!)so lets all carry on merrily drinking too much....all raise your glasses to Doha!

Is that a boat in the background of your avatar?

I'm so freaking busy, that my own shadow, won't date me, anyhow.

Could you read Blank? Blank, blank, Censorship in action.....

LOL

Not all expats are married, however the Garveys and Rugby Club crowds seem to be. And those guys are married but haven't been with their wives in years. Makes you wonder why they are married at all.

Who can take a guy in a pink shirt seriously?

so that I can talk to ass**les. This includes myself.

Tyler,

I thought I was the only one with this problem (not quite a problem as I never miss my mouth with my drink), working in a purely expat company I discovered that everyone seems to drink to much and this is on a daily basis. In the UK I would only ever really drink on a weekend.

So what do you call excessive then???

And hey come on the TV here you need to drink to actually find it amusing!

You're born, you take s**t. You get out in the world, you take more s**t. You climb a little higher, you take less s**t. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what s**t even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake son.

BTW- Alcohol makes me sad....no it doesn't it saves me from becoming sad all the time.
