i thought that was implied when i mentioned the qatari id part. they don't issue id's if you don't have a residence permit.

i wouldn't recommend using somebody's license to buy booze.

a) only the permit holder is allowed to purchase alcohol

b) if the permit holder is caught delivering the "goods" to anywhere than their residence..they could run into serious trouble with the authorities

luckily i have a permit, and take full advantage of ladies nights whenever possible..:D
