Foreign people of non-muslim origin should only be allowed to drink in their houses as outside it will lead to some irresponsible behaviours, but who can make it sure that it will be so?. Even in more liberal country like USA in some decent apartment complexes people are not allowed to drink openly in spaces outside their aparments.

The woman can win her case in the court by saying that she did not remember what she was doing as she was totally drunk, but real thing lies in the UAE laws for non muslims regarding alcohol.
