I just returned from the states, and I'm obviously out of touch. Everything is at least double, and often triple the prices you'll find here. It was a rude awakening. But also a kind of relief. I suspect the UK isn't all that different. Especially considering... well, you know. So, if it's cheap alcohol that's the main attraction, I think perhaps that may not be the best way to attract quality tourism. And yet that's one of the things that the balearics are working to change ...to the disdain of certain types of tourists 🤨 Oh well... enjoy Greece and Turkey. Even cheaper beer there. And that's what's important. Apparently.
Can not disagree, but when the UK pub pint is likely to be £10 in the very near future, it is easy to see why the young and many others over indulge with Spanish prices, especially on holiday and having a good time. Fortunately I fall asleep after the 4th glass of wine and my system can not cope with more than 3 pints of beer, not lager. 😎
In the states, it's illegal to fly drunk or otherwise inebriated by other means, and you can't drink your own alcohol on board the plane (to enable flight attendants to control consumption). **** regardless of nationality **** Somehow, I'm inclined to believe that any legislation to this effect in Europe will also apply to ***anyone***, not just Brits. But no doubt Brits will be the sole victims of yet another draconian EU anti-Brit regulation.
