- Limit of four drinks per order amid fears of binge drinking
- Tournament organisers had promised to keep prices modest
Football fans will have to stump up nearly £12 for a beer at the World Cup – despite pre-tournament promises by organisers to keep prices modest. There will also be a limit of four drinks per order amid fears that some supporters could binge drink to excess.
Alcohol is usually restricted in Qatar, a conservative Muslim country, with the few hotel bars allowed typically charging about £12-15 for a beer or glass of wine.
