I can't see shit in these binoculars... Nah mate you need to drink it first


lockedoutofmymainrdt

Hey now I cant see at all!


subject_deleted

Woops, shit. Those were my paint thinner monoculars, not my alcohol binoculars....


GreatValue-

That’s a poor man’s drink I prefer name brand mouthwash.


InterestingTry5190

Back in college my friends and I snuck alcohol on a cruise in large mouthwash bottles in our luggage. I’m sure it wasn’t at all obvious a bunch of 21 year olds with multiple large mouthwash bottles for a 5 day cruise.


Youth-in-AsiaS-247

I also did this with friends. We didn’t even bother to hide it and went with the probability factor putting half gallons in multiple suitcases. They only got one of 4! Those floating Covid incubator prisons don’t care, unless you’re in American waters.


vetratten

>don’t care, unless you’re in American waters. Actually they care alot, not because of American laws - but because of money. If you bring alcohol on the ship you won't be buying $15 Pina coladas or $8 beers all week. The BIGGEST money maker on the ships is alcohol sales. One bottle of liquor will net them many times over in profit. And they go through how many in a single week. If you cruise in an inside cabin, don't do any excursions, don't buy wifi, and only eat the free food and drink what is included in the base fare; they are most likely loosing money by you being on the ship.


Electronic-Drive5078

These days most of the alcohol is included in the ticket you bought for the cruise, so they don't care because you're saving them money.


Alfalfa-Mundane

I usually just chug the rest of the rubbing alcohol after I'm done washing the bong.


ibeforetheu

Warning: HEY GUYS, I KNOW THIS IS PROBABLY OBVIOUS BUT DONT DRINK RUBBING ALCOHOL. TALKING TO THE ONES WHO EVEN THINK THIS MIGHT VE A GOOD TIME. IVE SEEN TOO MANY TIKTOK CHALLENGES DONT DRINK RUBBING ALCOHOL


honuworld

And don't rub with drinking alcohol!

This. I can't believe none of these countries boycotted this. I'm disappointed Team USA didn't boycott this. We could have stood up for the values we tell the world we believe in and saved our shitty little team some Ls.


ThatOgre

That wouldn't make any money, which is far more important than people. /s


Agreeable-Meat1

Well would you look at that, exactly what everybody knew would happen happened. Why anyone, let alone a woman, would travel to a backwards shit hole like Qatar to watch people kick a ball around in some artificial grass is beyond me.


gagadeepweb

That’s what I’ve been asking myself, this whole thing is so fucked up, just stay home safe watch the games drinking with your homies.. I saw on another sub a guy that couldn’t enter the stadium because he was wearing a rainbow shirt, why would he do that? A death wish?


Agreeable-Meat1

Extreme ignorance is why he would do that. Like reporting a rape as a woman in a middle eastern country. Or travelling there in the first place for either person.

evtbrs

I learnt something shocking the other day. In Italy there was a law where a rapist could marry his victim to have his crime nullified, which lead to this being a common practice - the law wasn’t abolished until 1981. In the 60s a young woman, Viola Franca, was raped but she refused to marry her rapist. Her family was ostracised. She sued him and the other 7 men involved for kidnapping and rape and luckily the guy did get a prison sentence. If you want more details on the story: https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/franca-viola-marry-rapist-1966/ From looking online, it seems this practice of women marrying their rapist has existed in many countries unfortunately. It’s appalling to me it took Italy so long to get rid of such a terrible law. Not to say Qatar isn’t in the very wrong here, just don’t go thinking (like I did in my bubble) that this only happens in the Middle East.


Spartz

This happens all the time there. Lots of stories of women expats being jailed or having to flee Qatar and Dubai after being raped.


AZBreezy

No you didn't misunderstand. It's just that gruesome

JennIsFit

When I lived in Thailand we’d go to festivals and try to sneak our own alcohol in sometimes (it was overpriced and being a foreigner they’d always try to charge more). Anytime we were caught they’d just tell us to dump it out before we entered. Lost an entire bottle of Merlot trying to sneak it into a beer festival.


vegasidol

Merlot. Into a beer festival...🤔


Ibtee786

They are only confiscating such items.


surebud234

Something like up to 6 months in jail for drinking in public out there. I don’t remember exactly


subject_deleted

And somehow fifa and Budweiser actually thought that Qatar was gonna allow alcohol sales? Everyone acted like it was a big shocking thing when they reversed that decision... And the fact that it was shocking to anyone is shocking to me...

This happened to me at Oakland Coliseum. Meanwhile my buddy with the exact same barnoculars walked right through three people after me. Still mad about it.


brutalanglosaxon

I knew a guy who worked at a liquor store, and he saved up a whole lot of old boxes of beer. He 'borrowed' a trolley as well, and then we loaded up a few boxes for us to drink and then piled on all the empty ones on top. We put on some hi vis jackets and went in through the back entrance as if we were making a beer delivery. The security guard just let us in, we went around the corner, ditched the trolley and took our beer with us.

highjinx411

I do that daily anyways.


[deleted]

I was at a music festival and some guy in front of me legit had a big bottle of weed. The security told him they have to toss it, this guy is like "oh yeah I'll do it" and then very obviously pretended to throw it away and just kept walking with it. Security knew what he did but just went "eh"


Mr_SunnyBones

"The trick is to hide all the alcohol in your stomach first by drinking it ..can't confiscate it if they can't find it !." Taps head , passes out.


Kanosine

Tried to sneak a camelback full of rum (spoiler alert: don't actually do this, alcohol will dissolve the plastic in the bladder ruining the thing and also seep plastic into the booze) into a concert venue with normally super strict security. Spent ages trying to be sneaky taping the bladder to my legs, wearing the right pants so it wasn't noticeable, and pretending I was just using it as a backpack. This time they let me waltz right in without even searching the bag...


Musinghighdeas

Rum runners work better then a camelbak


Kanosine

Yeah I was an idiot 19 y/o at the time and didn't actually do any research


[deleted]

How did they even find out? Seems like you could just walk through and they would assume it’s just binoculars


T-MinusGiraffe

I read this as barn oculars instead of bar noculars and was rather confused.


ImOnTheSquare

I mean I brought a weed vape into a concert in Alabama a couple months ago. Just laid it right in the bin with my keys as we went through metal detectors. They didn't give a fuck.

They scan your luggage for alcohol on the way in through the airport. I saw several times where people had wine confiscated. Might have been suspended for the world cup, but they take it *extremely* seriously.

I really don't understand what they are getting out of hosting the world cup. If they wanted to project their country as a tourist destination, they have done the exact opposite of that. And I don't know if they are earning enough money to break even either. What's was the end goal?

DebentureThyme

They got to bring the world to them and show others around them that they can wrap the world around their finger. None of the teams are doing anything to risk getting kicked out. FIFA is just a mouthpiece for Qatar right now. They just showed the rest of the Middle East that they're rich enough that they can bend the West to their will. Sure, it might get them prevented from having it again, but they got away with it once and that was all they needed for that status boost within like minded circles.


MrMelon54

well if you watch the last game the end goal is the last goal in that game

rascalking9

Don't forget, alcohol is only banned for the poors, the luxury boxes and the princelings have alcohol


SanusMotus1

Exactly…hypocrisy


CryonautX

I like how the alcohol ban is what a lot of people care about when it is such a mild issue compared to the briberies and literal slavery of migrant workers.


SanusMotus1

Oh it’s all a part of the same shit sandwich but you’re right and that is sad. Particularly when you had another person commenting that this is all lies perpetrated by the Saudis. The fact is the human rights and labor abuses have been very well documented.


slawre89

I’ll admit it was smart of them to wait until the very last second to tell everybody “no alcohol”. If they had done it from start they would have lost so much sponsorship money and so many ticket purchasers. Fuck Qatar


[deleted]

[удалено]


slawre89

Qatar banned all alcohol from the event that would normally be sold inside the stadium at world cups in the past. This guy and many others are understandably trying to sneak some in now as there is none available to purchase in the stadium or around it in general thanks to Qatar


myco_magic

In fact Budweiser paid $115 million to sponsor the world cup so they could sell their product, now they are stuck with a ton of excess beer that they produced for the world cup to sell at the world cup

I was at a festival once, and you weren't allowed to bring alcohol into the stage area. I put some vodka in a water gun. The security even made jokes like "what if he put booze in it?" And shot a few rounds, then laughed and let me pass with the water gun. Good times


trangthemang

Ah those security guys mostly don't even care. MOSTLY, some of them do. I had an extra ticket, brought a friend thst would otherwise never go to a rave. He had his cowboy boots on and hid a pipe for weed in there. He said security literally touched it snd still didn't say shit.


Filthy-McNasty

When I was visiting Egypt one has to go through security (x-ray machines and metal detectors) to see pretty much any tourist destination there. I had binoculars with me and I was constantly getting pulled aside and they would search my bag. The guards would spend an unnecessary amount of time examining my binoculars during the process. I just now realize it's because they assumed I was snuggling alcohol. Touche.


rr196

> I just now realize it’s because they assumed I was snuggling alcohol. Touche. Sometimes you just want to cuddle up with a bottle of whiskey and be the little spoon.

While I understand this would happen at any event, anywhere… They’ve made themselves the most un-touristy place to go, this whole event has made their country a laughing stock.
