But if someone offers to host an event in their home, they need to understand the requirements and expectations of that event, and if they do not agree to them, then they should not host it.

Having said that it's not unreasonable to have a alcohol free World Cup. The problem is the 48h notice is unreasonable. If I have planned a trip with a view to sit and enjoy watching a match with a beer, and now I am not able to, that's the problem.

thing is, they wouldn't have hosted the WC had they been honest about what the beer policy was going to be.

Brazil also doesn't sell beer in stadiums and they had to temporarily change rules while the WC was in town

TBF I don't think you can sit an enjoy the game with a beer in most stadiums in the UK... You can have one before, at half time, and at the end. But not while you watch.

That’s true, you can’t take alcohol to your seat while you watch the match in the UK but you can still buy alcohol at the stadium.

My understanding is that the alcohol ban applies even when watching in fan-zones outside of the stadiums.
