I don't believe it will change the illicit importation and sale of alcohol by diplomats. There is a lot of money from that. There isn't a compound in the kingdom that doesn't have at least one contact from whom you can buy Smirnoff Triple Distilled and Johnny Walker Black Label.
And besides those, even if you can't find a contact like that, you can always buy big jugs of homemade wine (technically, fermented grape juice) or Sid. Sidikki is an extremely strong distilled spirit that smells and tastes awful, but definitely gets you drunk enough to not care anymore. When buying it, they put some raw on a surface and burn it so you can see pure blue flame (that is to say, only ethanol and no methanol), before they dilute it with water to approximately 50% alcohol. All compounds have bars that make and distribute them by the glass or in bulk. They also re-ferment dealcoholized beer to make it alcoholic again, but that's just vile.
They won't be even putting a dent in the trade. They will probably make some money from it, though.
