Drinking Of Anything...Including Water, On The Streets Of Ibiza, San Antonio Banned

A tourist hotspot has banned people from drinking on its streets - including bottles of water.

Tourists in San Antonio, Ibiza, face a 750 euro (£600) fine if they break the law, which was approved after authorities became exasperated with holidaymakers consuming alcohol in public places.

The bylaw, which was approved on Thursday evening, applies to all drinks in order to stop revellers disguising alcohol in other bottles.
The move has prompted fears tourists could become dehydrated while wandering around the town or on nights out, with temperatures soaring higher than 30C in August.
People doing exercise and children are thought to be an exception to the rule, according to The Telegraph. 
Despite the criticism, Mayor Pep Tur said the measure was brought in stop young people 'causing a nuisance'.
Aida Alcaraz, a town councillor, added: 'There are areas like terrace bars where of course people will be able to drink.
'But what they won't be able to do any more is to take drinks out onto the streets in plastic glasses.'
However, councillor José Sala criticised the decision and said he was not prepared to accept the new bylaw.
Mr Sala, of the Popular Party, added: 'This is impossible and possibly even unconstitutional.'
Hundreds of thousands of Britons visit the island every year, with Ibiza named as the fourth most popular holiday destination in a survey last year.
