"Alcohol cannot be consumed in parts of English football grounds with view of the pitch, or anywhere in Scottish grounds outside of corporate hospitality."

Do you need to drink alcohol to enjoy football? If you go to a foreign country you should abide by their laws/customs.

>>> Do you need to drink alcohol to enjoy football?

If you're watching Norwich play, you need alcohol to make it bearable ;-)

[Peter Pedant]

you are absolutely right
no booze in a stadium - no drunken fans = no fightin g or er kissing

why didnt I think of that ?

World Cup, tournament sponsor Budweiser’s products will be available at stadiums and fan zones.

I like Doha. Souq Waqif is really nice for an evening stroll. I had the best ever Persian kebabs there. A lovely evening and no alcohol involved.

[tonyav]

LOL @ Chris.

[Ken4155]

Having a multi million dollar sponsorship deal, i doubt Budweiser are best pleased.

[237SJ]

I doubt they care. Their name is in lights - that's all that matters

[Arksided]

ok *** that... no beer.

[tomus42]

Yes.

The fuss is about the fact that they've been saying for years that you would be able to buy alcoholic drinks at the Qatar World Cup and then a few days before it starts they say you can't.

Why can you drink alcohol at cricket and tennis matches, but not football?

[emmie]

as far as i thought you could get alcohol at football stadiums, is that not the case.

[emmie]

Jo maybe it's the numbers that go to football... millions.

[douglas9401]

Because cricket and tennis matches aren't held at football grounds?

[douglas9401]

It's to do with historic thuggery.
