What do you bet Budweiser sells three times as many Alcohol-Free beer (if they make any; which I bet they do) than they would have sold alcoholic ones? Any depth of thought or examination seems beyond the ability of many (including media - if it's a good story).
Watch the headline in December -
BUDWEISER MISSED OUT ON $3 MILLION SALES AT THE WORLD CUP BUT SOLD $13 MILLION CANS OF NO ALCOHOL BEER.
It's a GREAT STORY!!!!!

I spent 4 months working in Oman and Muscat AND BOY DID i LIKE THAT BEER AT THE END OF A HOT DAY.
Absolutely love the country pretty much for the same reasons JK likes Morocco..love Arab people.
The country has opened up now well and truly for tourism..in my day there was one hotel with starring acts like Harry Secombe.
The British are such piss pots.

Sales and orders for alcohol free beer and wine are actually on the increase.
Inebriation = exponential sales! As I am sure GM saw many times back in the day.
Too some extent Wyot, when people got too drunk, I had to stop serving them and them home or call a taxi. Also when people got too drunk they put other people off and I lost sales.
It's a balancing act.
I can't see many footie fans sipping wine during the matches and be all fucking la-de-da. However, I love to see that for the hilarity especially from those who are shirtless and have bigger stomachs than potbellied pigs.

I feel sorry, for the partners of football fans and the innocent. Fans will take out their frustration on their partners or on a random fella in a pub or street, because a team lost.
I don't have a TV plugged in to an aerial and I will be at work. So, I have great excuses for not watching soccer nor do I have to respond to the damn question "Did you see the game last night?"
I don't many Arabs, but I do know some Sikhs Hedda. Great people with a superb sense of humour.
Do you know any Arabs who will do a trade for my partner in exchange for a rug or a camel?

That's all good to know!
Anticipated viewership is expected to be 5 billion - equating to over 227 million a day.
By far the most watched event in the history of the planet.
