Define drunk? 1drink? 2 drinks? I can have a drink in public in Thailand and it's not against the law. I think it's the same in SE Asia and most places in Europe. But most importantly I can easily purchase alcohol if I want.
And nothing is different from that in Dubai. Define Public? We cant drink alcohol in many public places in Australia.
By public I mean street, malls etc. Australia is relatively strict but all a pub has to do is stick some barriers on the sidewalk and people can drink there.
So be it. No plans to visit Norway other than a short transit or as part of a tour of Scandinavia.
Actually not true. Licensed premises have very strict rules with regards to where their premises extend and how many patrons can be fitted in, and even the number of seats. Currently there is a prosecution in SA for a pub that provided 2 extra seats. I can’t help but feel you aren’t really on top of current laws in Australia; or are throwing darts at possible ideas, or are simply stirring me up. Maybe they do it differently in Thailand but you simply cannot do as you suggest here and Dubai is no different. And that’s all I’m going to say.
Not stirring and definitely not making anything up. Walk past the pub at Tugun and people are drinking on the sidewalk. Go past many night clubs in Sydney city and drinking areas are open areas just off the sidewalk. Same in Brisbane. Strict but not that strict.
Probably "turning a blind eye" - sort of what generally happens in much of the UAE.
That happens in a lot of places in the USA-the"dry"counties.

In Australia? We were quite strict with alcohol and gambling but the poker machine lobby has a strong voice so now pubs are all smoking again in the poker machine area but the rest of the place stinks of smoke as doors are opened constantly.
I don't look at legislation. I spend many hours playing pokies in lots of places and I've seen the restrictions relaxed. Either that or all these pubs and clubs have gone against legislation?
I also miss being able to call up my TA if I needed help or something changed while I was travelling. These days, you're at the mercy of the airlines help desks, and as pax, you seem to get a lot less help than a TA. Or at least, when I use a TA, they seem to achieve things I myself cannot.
Have you ever been a woman without a man in a ME country? Until you have been harassed, stared at, groped, chased down alleys, don't complain about the things put in place to protect women. Every single bus trip I took in Turkey (not even really in the ME), I had some horrible man try to grope me or just touch me, or my hair between the seats. I started to ask to be seated with the women and children too!
