Alcohol consumption in the U.A.E. has risen some 30% in the last five years. As the article in Arabian Business notes, this is despite increasingly more difficult restrictions on alcohol sales. The same study stated that alcohol consumption in Saudi Arabia has almost doubled since 2004. This statistic obviously makes no mistakes as everyone knows that there is no alcohol in the holy Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
