Customs crackdown in Bali creates shortage of alcohol, specialist foods

news.com.au

Tourists heading to Bali for Christmas be warned: it's going to be a dry festive season, with booze almost completely unavailable on the Indonesian island after a months-long customs crackdown.

What a load of bollox. There'll be plenty of Bintang and Anker so it's hardly a dry festive season. It's only imported food & booze, so if you want foie gras and Bollinger stay home. Bloody Aussies, always f###ing whining.


Yourself excepted Tiz.

"The only good aspect is it's probably increased consumption of some of the local drinks, like arak and brem (rice wine, largely produced at village level)," De Neef said. "And I'm pretty sure beer consumption has gone up."


They'll be whining, but they wont be wining. :)

I would have thought that most of the Aussie Bali tourists would be Bintang and Anker drinkers, but I'm that rare breed of Aussie that has never been to Bali.
