Penalties for the import, manufacture, possession, and consumption of alcohol or illegal drugs are severe. Convicted offenders can expect jail sentences, fines, public flogging, and/or deportation. The penalty for drug trafficking in Saudi Arabia is death. Saudi officials make no exceptions. Customs inspections at ports of entry are thorough. The U.S. Embassy and Consulates General have no standing in Saudi courts to obtain leniency for an American convicted of alcohol or drug offenses.
It's death. It is written in red on the Saudi visa. Alchohol is found in compounds because non-muslims are allowed to drink but within their compounds. "usually all foriegners live in enclosed compounds".

I lived there for two years. Everyone there is obsessed with alcohol. It is everywhere and people drink it excessively. It's not hard to get and not many people are fearful of getting caught. I think the appeal is in the old forbidden fruit concept.
