to Majorca often crackle with the sound of beer cans being opened. Visitors to the sunny Spanish island commonly plan to drink until they drop. But Majorca’s authorities, and many of its residents, grow ever more tired of (drunken tourism), the kind that leaves beaches strewn with rubbish and pavements splattered with vomit. Over the years they have brewed endless plans to clean things up.The most recent new rules dictate that all-inclusive resorts in the noisiest swathes of the island may provide guests with no more than six drinks a day—three of them at lunchtime, and a maximum of three at night. Revellers in the affected zones, which include Magaluf, Majorca’s grimmest party town, have had to say to organised pub crawls and happy-hour drinks deals. Bacchants can still snap up bevvies at supermarkets, but stores are no longer entitled to sell alcohol after 9:30pm. Businesses which break the rules risk fines of up to €600,000 ($613,000).
