It’s shocking how many people are living in the UAE\u00a0without an alcohol licence.<\/p>\n

We know the laws and\u00a0know the consequences of breaking them, yet most still haven’t bothered to get a licence. Even though the process is pretty simple.\u00a0There are\u00a0TONNES of reasons why you should apply for a license;\u00a0here are seven:<\/p>\n

(If you’re smart enough to know you already\u00a0need one, click\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and the great team at African + Eastern will\u00a0help you get it\u00a0sorted…it’s easier than you think.)<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0You won’t have to trek out of the city to purchase alcohol<\/h3>\n

It’s a waste of your time and your petrol money.<\/p>\n

2. You can legally host a party in your home<\/h3>\n

If things get a bit wild and the police\u00a0turn up, (what kind of parties\u00a0are you hosting?) those in possession of an alcohol licence will be in\u00a0a lot less trouble.<\/p>\n

3. It’s the law<\/h3>\n

Seems like this one shouldn’t need any explanation. If you want to buy, transport or consume alcohol in Dubai\u00a0you should have an alcohol licence.<\/p>\n

4. It’s convenient<\/h3>\n

Begging visitors coming through the airport to purchase alcohol is beneath you (we hope). Sort your alcohol licence in advance and you’ll never have to worry about running out of drink again.<\/p>\n

5. If you get into a tricky situation with the police, having an alcohol licence will stand to you<\/h3>\n

Who knows what kind of situation you may find yourself in, if you’re transporting or consuming alcohol in public without a licence you’ll be in trouble. And you’ll only have yourself to blame.<\/p>\n
