The drinking party is over

Everybody who is on holiday wants to have a good time, but this does not mean drinking heavily and ruining the fun for the rest of tourists who are acting responsibly. It seems to me that we have reached a point that a small number of people are ruining the fun for others because they simply can't behave or moderate their drinking.

But rather than introducing a complete ban, the local authorities could look at other options. Bar staff could be told not to serve anyone who is clearly under the influence; sales of alcohol in supermarkets could be restricted and even a one drink only policy introduced on aircraft. It seems to me that there is an easier solution to overcome the problem of anti-social behaviour caused by excessive drinking. Perhaps a return to common sense and a more mature approach is needed rather than a straight ban.
