Answer

Can alcohol make walking in Mallorca’s city streets more dangerous?

Yes, alcohol can reduce judgment, balance, and reaction time, which makes it easier to ignore traffic rules or misread a road crossing. In places like Mallorca’s seafront areas, that can quickly become dangerous because vehicles and pedestrians move close together. Even the morning after a night out, people may still be less alert than they think.
