Sorta wet, really. One thing you can't as a visitor do is stroll into a liquor store and buy a 6 pack of beer. There are liquor stores, but you can't shop there unless you have a resident visa. So, if you want to have something in your room, hit duty free as you exit the airport. Or you could take a cab to Abu Dhabi or Um al Quain where a non resident can shop in the liquor stores.
