    This is a great topic, I would imagine the generic alcohol would have less potency, besides the cost savings to the resort, having guests drinking basically 18 hours a day, this may prevent several over intoxicated incidents. I am a "vacation" drinker. I do prefer to be able to drink a good part of the day without losing my composure, not saying that always happens. Again, to the point of ice melting, you also need to factor many people have thier own larger mugs which ='s more ice.

    A lot of people like those LARGE 32 oz mugs which hold like thirty ice cubes
    You would have to put 5 to 7 shots in one of those for a regular strength shot. With all that ice and the drink lasting longer = ice melting = watered down drinks by the guest, not the resort.
    I,ve seen enuf wasted people to now the drinks are not watered down.
    Some people should have their drinks watered down cause they are a disruption to the other guests.

    I agree with Donald, we actually like having plenty of ice in our large mugs, yes it melts, yes it may water the beverage down a little bit, but you have to remember you are in the hot sun all day long drinking lots of booze and pop, drinking some water is critical, and if melted icecubes in my drink helps with that water intake, works good for me!

    One big thing people forget, it, you can usually drink more at Sea level in hot weather. In your room, you probably had the airconditioning on so it wasn't hitting you as hard.

    Here in Labrador we are well above sea level and it is freezing all the time. I can drink maybe 4 beer before I start to get buzzed. We go to Sept-Iles Quebec often for hockey, which is at sea level and significantly warmer but only 400km away and I have to drink 8 or 9 beer before I get buzzed.

    This is all from personal testing, no real scientific proof to back this up.

    I am going to get Mythbusters to do the scientific testing for me!
