Brit left furious as he's only allowed six drinks a day on Spain holiday after booze crackdown

New rules restricting the number of drinks all-inclusive holidaymakers can have in parts of Spain have angered a man who jetted off to Mallorca to celebrate a cousin's birthday.

Jason Walker, 42, says he was let "upset" by the new six drink per day rule, which applies to certain parts of Ibiza and Mallorca. Jason paid £340 for a three-night all-inclusive trip to Mallorca, through Love Holiday, which he thought would mean he could eat and drink as much as he want.

But a law change quietly introduced in January means tourists in Palma, El Arenal and Magaluf in Mallorca only get a maximum of six alcoholic drinks per day included in all-inclusive deals. The same law applies in St Antonio, Ibiza.

Jason, who travelled to Majorca to celebrate his cousin's 40th birthday, is warning holidaymakers to check the small print on their deals .

“We only found out when we checked in and only budgeted so much because thought all our food and drink would be covered.

"We were very upset and angry. We’ve come as a family of eight to celebrate my cousin’s 40th and while we have still had a good time, we have incurred extra costs as a result.”

The Balearic Islands government brought in the rule change in January as part of a package to tackle anti-social behaviour. But Jason, from Blackburn, says it means holidays are more expensive than he had budgeted for during a cost of living crisis.

He said: “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. We are also here as a family and all-inclusive is great for
