The six-drink rule for all-inclusive properties within the areas means that travellers will be limited to three alcoholic beverages during the lunch timetable and three during the evening timetable. Other rules which have now been made into law include a ban on jumping from balconies, pub-crawls and party boats.
For serious offences, this can mean three to six months in prison, community service, or a suspension of your licence. If you're just over the limit, you're more likely to get a fine, which can be as much as 600 EUR or 1000 EUR if you're more than double the limit.
