Does the new Doha Hamad International still offer "alcoholic left luggage", and how does it work?

Hamad International Airport has:

As a transfer passenger you may carry alcoholic beverages in your baggage. However these must be packed in containers of less than 5 litres.

Please note if you intend to exit the airport and visit Qatar before continuing your journey, then alcoholic beverages cannot be brought into the country under any circumstances. These will be confiscated and you won’t be able to retrieve them at any time.

The airport website security page does say specifically that you may carry alcohol through the airport IF you are only transferring from one flight to another in Doha. It then warns you that you may not leave the airport terminal with alcohol.

Doha’s airport security and customs page is too specific for my liking. Excerpts from three different sections:

Your hand-baggage will be security screened for prohibited items before you can proceed to the baggage claim area. These will be confiscated and you won’t be able to retrieve them at any time.

• Weapons, firearms and ammunition

• Alcoholic beverages

Customs

• Select the Red Channel if you have “Something to declare”.

• Alcoholic beverages (cannot be imported under any condition)

Prohibited items

Please ensure that you’re not carrying any of the following prohibited items. These items will be confiscated, and you won’t be able to retrieve them at any time

• Weapons, firearms and ammunition

• Alcoholic beverages
