I've only heard through word of mouth, but I googled it and found (for Canadians living in UAE)

Obtain a Liquor License

You need a letter from your sponsor confirming that you work for them and they should state how much you earn (because the amount of liquor you are allowed is directly related to what you earn) and your passport. From the Canadian Consulate in Dubai or Canadian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, you require a statement attesting that you are not Muslim to be signed in front of the Consul. You might find that if you approach the liquor outlets direct, that they will process the license for you, but if not, then you will need to go the Alcohol / Hotel License Bureau {situated on Road No 19 running between 4th Street (East Road) and 2nd Street (Airport Road)}.
