Any chance you can change your ticket to EK via Dubai
Big benefit is that DXB is more adopted to Westerners as a whole so you'll get alcohol practically everywhere after sunset, and potentially (not 100% sure but I think so) the whole day in airport lounges.
The lounge in Doha will be - in my experience - less crowded than on other days, but this is less caused by not serving alcohol but more by a general weakness of Intra-MENA travel during Ramadan (first days of Ramadan might be busy though as many locals fly out to cities like Paris or London).
