There has been plenty of talk surrounding the alcohol prices in Qatar but the England players' families are beating the hefty costs by taking their time over meals on board their luxury £1billion cruise ship.
Alcoholic beverages on the cruise the families are staying on are said to be just as expensive as those in the Doha hotels when bought individually, with a pint of beer costing around £14. Consumption of alcohol bought from authorized suppliers is legal in Qatar, although drinking in public is strictly prohibited.
However, according to the Telegraph, many of the wives, girlfriends and families have already found a way to beat the expensive booze bills by taking advantage of the meal deals on offer. It is understood more than one of the cruise ship restaurants is offering unlimited alcoholic drinks with meals for a set fee of as little as £50.
