Bars are needed in holiday spots unless, of course, it’s a halal holiday package. As youngsters in the 70s and 80s, we saw movie villains drinking alcohol in their shady dens, and the nouveau riche drinking to the displeasure of their conservative families. The common understanding is that, if a person drinks, then they will obviously visit red light areas or dancing chambers. Since alcohol is available for the locals, there should not be any reason why tourist spots cannot have licensed bars. When tourist spots lack enough bars, there will be an underground market selling low quality products.
