Same issue in SIN. If you insist on buying and they will let you.
The first few times I was told by Changi DFS staff that they were informed by DOH airport that alcohol will be confiscated even on Transit. But that is not true. Everytime I insist on buying it they'll be very surprised and just let me purchase in the end.
Things are slightly cheaper in Changi than in DOH - I usually buy cigarettes and whiskey in SIN.
