UAE Alcohol Law

According to the UAE Alcohol Law of 1972, there is a punishment for a person caught drunk or drinking without an alcohol permit includes imprisonment for a period of six months or a fine of Dh5,000 or both.

"Someone who has consumed alcohol in a permitted area can be arrested outside of that area if he is found to be drunk, disorderly and violates the UAE laws. The law applies even if the person holds a valid 'purchasing' alcohol licence. Anyone who is accused of committing a crime under the influence of alcohol within the UAE's jurisdiction is subject to the laws of the country," 

Liquor licences are not available to non-residents, but it is possible for tourists and visitors to buy and drink alcohol in licensed venues such as hotels, restaurants and clubs. However, you should be aware that it is a punishable offence under UAE law to drink or be under the influence of alcohol in public.
