Srikanth,
Relevant question during the summer time. As per UAE rules, any type of storage, transportation, transaction or consumption of alcohol is regulated. A person has to have liquor permit obtained from the authorities to buy alcohol from the regulated stores selling the same. Muslims are not allowed to apply for such permits. Even consumption of alcohol from pubs and hotels which serves them have to be carried out in a cautious manner and one has to avoid any circumstances which may lead to interaction with police. If involved in a traffic or other related offence under the influence of alcohol, one will be punished and may even be deported according to the nature of the offence.
Camps and general accommodation will have different nationalities with different belief staying together and it will be always good to do a surprise check if you suspect any sort of alcohol deals happening out there. As they say, prevention is better than cure, it may save you from any post-conflict fire-fighting exercise after an incident happen. Many companies follow these types of surprise checks and reprimand staff and prohibit them from drinking even at their accommodation in order to avoid such scenario. Most of them will not fall under the legal limit where alcohol permit can be obtained, and if ever it is happening it might be brought inside from external sources, which is all the more dangerous.
A word of caution in the beginning followed by strong disciplinary action will definitely save you from lots of difficulties later.
