A late festive post!

Happy new year, as it's the time of year when we all like to have a few drinks with our families, I thought I would write about something that is appropriate, even though it happened in October.

The thing we like to call "Happy Hours" or special offers on alcoholic drinks are no more in the Catalonia region from 16th October 2009, in order to reduce late night drinking. This will come as news for party-goers, football fans and other European tourists who are enticed by the special drinks offers, visiting the region.

This law has been introduced so that the youth decrease the amount they drink. But will it work?

I just wonder whether this is needed in Spain, as they drink to be social, and it is more rational and under control, unlike in many other countries in Europe. Either way, I don't think it will stop tourists visiting the region, as I have experienced, there is more to do in Spain than just party.
