An average cruise passenger consumes 42 bottles of beer, 16 cocktails, seven bottles of wine, 16 shots of whisky and two glasses of champagne on a single voyage, new research has claimed
A poll of almost 3,000 Britons, carried out by the website Bonvoyage.co.uk, uncovered the staggering statistics, which suggest that a cruise passenger’s daily alcohol consumption – during a one-week sailing – might consist of six beers, a couple of cocktails, a bottle of wine and a pair of whiskies. That works out at around 168 units a week, according to the drinkaware website's unit calculator – eight times the recommended allowance for men (21 units), and 12 times in excess of the recommended consumption levels for women (14 units).
Seasick: all in a week's work for thirsty cruise passengers
Mediterranean cruises were found to be the booziest, while men and women were evenly matched when it came to the total amount drunk.
Of those who took part in the survey, 91 per cent said they had at least one alcoholic drink during their last cruise.
