Living in Kuwait is very different. Alcohol is totally banned and people are forced to find joy in other things.
It's not that can't live without alcohol.... but come on! I'd like some entertainment. I'd like to drink a glass of champagne from time to time. Or go out to a bar with some friends, enjoy a nice conversation with a glass of wine.
Instead of night clubs and bars there is a huge number of fast food restaurants in prime locations (overlooking the sea). It's kind of funny. "We'll preserve your health by banning alcohol but you can eat as many burgers and chips as you want".
