Irish tourists heading to Spain hit with draconian new drinking law ... (Irish Mirror)

Visitors to the resorts on islands including Majorca and Ibiza, as well as some hotels in the Balearic Islands, will only be allowed three drinks with their ...

It is also understood shops in these resorts will not be allowed to sell alcohol after 9.30pm during the holiday season. All-inclusive is controversial anyway because tourist boards don’t like it as it keeps people in the resort and doesn’t get them out to the local hotels and bars. It’s not really at the premium end. He said: “It’s been a runaway problem at all-inclusive resorts for many years. The new law – which states “alcoholic drinks will be limited to six per day” – is part of a package of measures designed to crack down on anti-social behaviour. And there is no way that Irish visitors will be allowed to down the six drinks in one session.

Holidaymaker's outrage at all-inclusive six drinks a day rule on ... (ChronicleLive)

Jason Walker was left angry and upset by the rules, ruining his holiday to Majorca to celebrate his cousin's birthday.

In which, they said: "Please be advised that a decree has been issued by the Balearic Government on a new restriction for All Inclusive meal option. Some of the measures introduced by the Balearic Islands authorities to limit anti-social behaviour have potential to cause confusion for UK holidaymakers. One Twitter user believed that inclusive holidays with booze limits should be marketed as “half-board” - and called for hotel contracts where this wasn’t clearly stated to be ripped up. If you are booking an all-inclusive holiday, I recommend that you look at the small print and see what is actually included and what’s not because the rules have changed.” He added: “I understand they are trying to stem alcohol abuse and rowdy behaviour, but I think this has been done very sneakily – I was not made aware of it and didn’t know about the law. And many have been left infuriated by the new ruling, including 42-year-old Jason Walker, who booked a trip to Majorca to celebrate his cousin's birthday earlier this week.

Irish holidaymakers in Spain hit with controversial new drinking law (Belfast Live)

Irish tourists who have booked all-inclusive holidays at top Spanish resorts this summer are being warned about a controversial "six-drinks-a-day" law.

Please be aware that Magaluf, El Arenal, Playa de Palma in Mallorca and Sant Antoni in Ibiza, there is a new restriction on all-inclusive." He said: "It should have been better flagged but you have to remember it's at the cheaper end of the all-inclusive business that you find this. Those booking all-inclusive are recommended to examine the small print and see what is actually included and not. And there is no way that Irish visitors will be allowed to down the six drinks in one session. It is also understood shops in these resorts will not be allowed to sell alcohol after 9.30pm during the holiday season.

Anyone affected by the ban is advised to take immediate steps to apply for a Spanish licence, which will involve both a theory and a practical test. Until now Brits living in Spain have been permitted to use their DVLA-issued licences on the roads, while every other European nation has come to a post-Brexit agreement about UK drivers.

'Angry' man sold all-inclusive Spain holiday hit with 'six drink rule' (Liverpool Echo)

A new rule in Spain is limiting the amount of alcohol travellers can drink on their trip abroad.

They said: "Please be advised that a decree has been issued by the Balearic Government on a new restriction for All Inclusive meal option. He said: "Brits will now be restricted to just six drinks a day, which can only be accessed alongside their lunch and dinner - offering them a mere three drinks per meal." "Some of the measures introduced by the Balearic Islands authorities to limit anti-social behaviour have potential to cause confusion for UK holidaymakers. If you are booking an all-inclusive holiday, I recommend that you look at the small print and see what is actually included and what’s not because the rules have changed." He also believes holidays where a three drink per meal rule is in place are being mislabelled and shouldn't be branded as "all-inclusive." "We are also here as a family and all-inclusive is great for families as you don’t have to worry about budgeting for food and drink."

Anger At Spain's “Six Drinks A Day” Rule For All-Inclusive Holidays (Birmingham Times)

A spokesperson for the ABTA – The Travel Association said the rules have the potential to cause “confusion” among holidaymakers. He said: “Brits will now be restricted to just six drinks a day, which can only be accessed alongside their lunch and dinner – offering them a mere three drinks per meal.” He said: “I have looked at the small print and the alcoholic drink rule is there, so I don’t think it should be sold as an all-inclusive inclusive holiday, it should be sold as half-board or something along those lines. “We are also here as a family and all-inclusive is great for families as you don’t have to worry about budgeting for food and drink.” The new law – which states “alcoholic drinks will be limited to six per day” – is part of a package of measures designed to crack down on anti-social behaviour. Spanish officials have sparked outrage by enforcing a “six drinks a day” rule for all-inclusive holidays and in resorts on islands including Ibiza and Majorca.
