Now , here is the situation with alcohol. As per Qatar constitution , Qatar follows the Wahabi sect of Sunna. That makes the sell of alcohol prohibited. Nearly a decade ago, sell of alcohol was permitted through QDC/QA to appease "certain foreigners" despite many locals resentment. That's why many locals believe that once the parliament election takes place they have a strong legal chance of having the sell of alcohol prohibited again, which I doubt
Now with 2022 , it's clear that locals have to live with the fact that the sell of alcohol will be permitted as per the same conditions. But I doubt that any further flexibility would take place beyond QDC, QA & 5* hotels.
