From what I have witnessed beer can only lead to three things:
-It could lead to bar fights(which is the opposite of what you think beer can do)
-Second, beer turns intelligent people into idiots who soil themselves and wake up on somebody's front lawn

Not just any alcohol. Beer. For different reasons, neither Egypt nor Israel celebrates Oktoberfest, which is a darn shame. In fact, none of the Middle Eastern countries which are in such constant conflict and turmoil brew much good beer. I find that very telling.
Also note that Egypt's only famous diplomat, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, who was crucial in the talks you mentioned, as well as becoming UN Secretary General, was from the Coptic Christian minority. The Copts brew both the poor Stella beer and an excellent Aswan Stout.
