Supposedly if you're a rich foreign resident you can buy alcohol in Saudi Arabia

[TheButcher]

I'll rephrase that sightly, when you are really rich you can buy alcohol anywhere, money talks and bullshit walks.


From the BBC website.

"Saudi Arabia has quietly started to allow wealthy foreign residents to buy alcohol, a huge change after a 73-year ban. Commentators expect that the relaxation will eventually be extended to tourists, as Sameer Hashmi reports from Riyadh.

For decades, Riyadh's Diplomatic Quarter has stood apart from the rest of the capital city – an affluent enclave of embassies and upscale residences, with shaded walkways, greenery and a café culture that draws young Saudis and expatriates alike.

Now, tucked inside a discreet, unmarked beige complex within the exclusive neighbourhood, a small store has become a discrete testing ground for one of Saudi Arabia's most sensitive policy shifts – the controlled sale of alcohol to wealthy non-Muslim foreigners."

If people do not drink and drive they must have fewer accidents, is that the case in Saudi Arabia.

How long before Israel makes a move on Saudi Arabia now that they went to war with Iran and Lebanon?

Tourism in Saudi Arabia and the gulf countries has come to a grinding halt and I see it not picking up after the Iran war concludes.
