10 Things That Go Through Your Mind When You Run Out Of Booze In Dubai
Running out of your home stock is minus fun. Whether you have yet to get your alcohol license, or you forgot to stock up at the airport, (rookie error) it’s just never ideal.
When you run out you’ve got options: either motor to your nearest Emirate, or hope you know someone passing through the airport soon (because paying full price at bars here is just not an option). Either way, our thoughts when we run out usually follow a similar pattern…
**Alcohol in Dubai can only be purchased if you’ve got an alcohol licence. Consume alcohol in moderation and be respectful of your surroundings.
1. Who needs drinks to have fun?!
2. Yea, like the two bottles from the airport was really going to last me
3. ONE of these days, I may actually fill out these forms and get myself a licence from African + Eastern
4. People who have alcohol licences are smug. Fact.
4. Right, who do I know that’s got a licence?
5. I can’t ask them to do a shop for me AGAIN…can I?
6. Damnit, WHYYYYY did I not stock up properly at the airport?
7. Screw driving to the offy, surely SOMEONE is flying into the country soon
8. And they say you can get ANYTHING you want delivered in Dubai
9. Right, The Cellars, in Fujairah it is…Who’s a good co-pilot?
10. How many bottles would it be physically possible to fit into the boot of the taxi?
Moral of the story?
Running out of stock is no fun. Either take the easy route and sort yourself out with a licence, or take a day trip to Fujairah and stock up there – the drink is cheap and it’s a nice excuse to get out of Dubai.
