A travel guru has debunked the rumour of "watered down booze" being served at cheap all-inclusive hotels.<\/p>\n
Chelsea, a self-proclaimed "cheap holiday expert", shares tips on how to pack light and nab flights and hotels that don't cost an arm and a leg.<\/p>\n
She and her partner, James, recently responded to complaints that all-inclusive holidays only offer low quality alcohol mixed with water.<\/p>\n

While they were staying in a budget hotel in Turkey, they decided to test the alcohol content in the spirits.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"We did think we should conduct a scientific experiment just to prove to you that they are legitimate," Chelsea said.<\/p>\n
"This is the gin so it should be 37.5% alcohol by volume."<\/p>\n
James placed a few drops of gin into the tool and closed the flap so Chelsea could check the reading.<\/p>\n
She gasped and said: "33%. So 'scientist' James, why could it be that it's a few percentages off?"<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
James simply suggested that hot temperature could be the variation that affected the accuracy of the alcohol content.<\/p>\n
They then moved on and tried vodka, which should also be 37.5% alcohol by volume.<\/p>\n
And the result was the same as before.<\/p>\n
Chelsea concluded: "I don't think they water them down.<\/p>\n
"We have literally seen them break the seal on brand new bottles, so I'm gonna go ahead and say that this place is not watering down.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"These are honest people."<\/p>\n
The benefits of getting an all-inclusive deal mean that guests can eat and drink all without worrying about the bill.<\/p>\n
But last year Spain enforced a "six drinks a day" rule for all-inclusive holidays at resorts on several islands including Ibiza and Majorca.<\/p>\n
Guests will have to pay for themselves if they have more than six drinks.<\/p>\n
