"It looks like the Spanish are up to their old tricks. Some all inclusive holidaymakers are being limited to six drinks a day when they go on holiday to get slaughtered. This has been all over the news for a few days ... What's going on here guys..." Old tricks? Which ones? This isn't a new law - it's been around a while now, is widely known by booking agents and is communicated to anyone booking holidays. If people arrive not knowing the rule then they only have themselves to blame. Plus it doesn't stop them drinking as much as they want if they buy it themselves. It's a rule that was brought in to curb the trend of tourists (many of them British) acting in an anti-social way, causing trouble, fighting and generally being complete pricks because they were d*unk. If they want to go on holiday to get slaughtered then they just need to go somewhere else. Simples................

 in the gutter will know why.
In my old age I’d now get the local supermarket vino (cheap as chips) and sit on the balcony people watching and reading a good book.
I think this is progress Tom. | |||

"Look at thus way. How woukd you feel if a load of people came to your town got slaughtered at yourocal bar staggering out screaming howling starting fights abusing locals ect ect ect? If you ask me it's an excellent idea because I have been embarrassed by these ignorant twats of my so called countrymen far too many times " What you describe above sounds like Bridgwater | |||

"All inclusive is horrible! Too many abusers of alcohol, making it unpleasant for everyone else Too much crap food, and a rushed dining experience, watching people repeatedly going back to the trough for more piled high plates. I’ve tried it once and that was enough. My philosophy is to go to somewhere better for a shorter time, than spend a longer time in a bad place! And eat where the locals eat, go where the locals go to relax, hire a bike or a car, and get away from the tourists, especially the d*unk ones on all inclusive! " Depends where you go. I wouldn’t do it any other way in the Caribbean. Definitely wouldn’t do it in Europe though. | |||

This has been all over the news for a few days ... What's going on here guys... Why is it a scam… why does all incl have to include alcoholic drinks at all ? " Because it is advertised as including alcohol, that's why. And if it means only 6 drinks then thats exactly what it should say. Would you accept unlimited phone calls for your mobile then get cut off if you reached a certain amount of calls in a day. I bet you wouldn't. It's all about the wording I'm afraid. I never even knew of this rule but I would be claiming back every drink I paid for from the travel agent if I needed to buy my own drinks after a cut off period on an all inclusive holiday. | |||

"I'm definitely using the wrong news outlets, that's the second thing in a couple of weeks that's been "all over the news" and completely passed me by. How they extend a story like that past one day is a mystery too - there must be some real complications involved. Can anyone recommend a suitable news source for this material please?"

Never been to one in Europe so didn’t know that. " It's the same elsewhere in the world. 'All Inclusive' will always have specific T's & C's whether it's what times drinks are free and what drinks are included (premium brands generally aren't), what restaurants are included (a la carte often aren't) and there'll always be a wording around a 'right to limit' any drinks or services. That's been the case wherever I've been for the last 20+ years, whether the Caribbean, Mexico, Egypt, Thailand, The Canaries, Turkey, Europe or anywhere. It's often shaped where I've chosen to stay as if the AI is only for domestic beer/spirits between 12-8pm and the free food is the main buffet restaurant only, I'll be looking elsewhere., Not because I need to drink copious amounts of free booze but because I like to have options re food and the times I eat drink.

Freshly roasted and ground coffee that may burn you and some people like to stick up their arses for health but might not be good for you. Yum yum Get the glorious mane you always wanted with these hair straighteners that you can't use in the bath, or eat, and definitely mustn't stick up your arse when it's turned on. Gosh.

"All inclusive drinks are a scam anyway. When we went to Tunisia the barman tool our drinks back and poured us new ones from a different bottle when he realised we paid for them as half board guests.

Just pay for the room or self catering, if you're hotel does all inclusive, then once you are there, pay for an all inclusive band. Saves you quite a bit, even if you only buy it for the last few days of your holiday, food and beers on the house. | |||
