Anyways, the ban beer and other beverages during the 2022 world cup that was held in Qatar was no big deal as those who wanted to drink still drank, but not inside the stadium, it was a preventive measure to prevent chaos, as it's been seen that some watchers after drinking and tipsy, have a habit of throwing beer bottles at the players, most especially when they are not performing as expected, I won't be surprised if the same ban happens again in the coming 2026 world cup.
But I think suspending alcoholic drinks is important, just imagine how many people are drinking alcoholic drinks they visited Qatar but due to the traditional rules they couldn't drink that's very important for a host to make the visitors happy while Qatar failed, in Qatar, you can do everything you want and break every rule you want if you are rich, I think in 2026 world cup we won't see this situation in these three countries.
If you read more carefully about the ban on alcohol at the Qatar World Cup then it's not a problem because the ban is only during matches, spectators who are used to drinking alcohol can still drink it but can't be in the stadium and that's a few hours before the game.
Qatar and also other Arab countries as well as several countries in Asia do have stricter regulations regarding alcohol unlike countries in Europe or America and that is because want to comply with religious rules, and there should not be regulations that already exist there replaced or relaxed just because there is a big event, but sometimes countries will apply double standards but when it comes to religion then Arab countries will be a little stricter.
During the 2026 world cup, we will not only not see the ban on alcohol, but also other things that are common in these 3 countries, so the spectators doesn't need to bring a guidebook regarding the rules because it will be more free later.
