Reality Check: The Documentary on Playa de Palma and the Difficult Management of Alcohol

Answer
Do alcohol bans in Mallorca actually reduce party problems?
They can reduce open drinking and make some areas calmer when enforcement is consistent. But the Mallorca example also shows that people often adapt by drinking earlier, moving to private spaces, or shifting the problem to bars and clubs. A ban alone does not solve the wider issue if there are no alternatives or follow-up measures.
