In addition to the “better safe than sorry” case, I finally found a link which makes it explicitly clear:
http://www.iatatravelcentre.com/SA-Saudi-Arabia-customs-currency-airport-tax-regulations-details.htm
Prohibited (also for transit passengers): alcoholic beverages,
firearms or other lethal weapons; drugs of narcotic nature (except
medicines for personal use and if holding prescription); pork
products; natural pearls.
Hope this helps others!
On their website it says “SAUDIA does not serve or permit passengers to carry or drink alcoholic beverages on its flights.”

I read that as meaning you may not have alcohol checked in since it amounts to carrying it.

- Is it true getting a USA passport card at a different time than your passport is better/safer?
