For diplomatic circles the amount of drinking is accurate.

We used to use code words when I lived in Saudi. I brewed a beer called "Bad News". I used to phone friends "I am afraid I have Bad News, you'd better come round".

Everyone: Yes, minister is great show, but they sometimes go too far in parodying politicians like for instance in that drinking scene from the Arabian country. Reality: It is actually a true story, but it was prime minister Jim Callaghan in Pakistan in 1978 and yes, they really make a "communication centre" only to have a place to store booze and yes there was really a phrase "prime minister you have a call from Mr Walker". There were multiple high ranked civil servants advising on screen for the show.
