Is the free alcohol at Hurghada all-inclusive hotels any good?

At the bar near reception, guests report the gin and tonic tastes decent (though the reviewer admits not being an expert on drinks).

Alcohol on the charter flight to Hurghada is sometimes served after all — if the flight time is close to lunch or dinner (including late dinner, around midnight). Morning flights only offer breakfast without alcohol.

At the hotel, the vodka reportedly tastes more like low-quality tequila, but if you explain to the bartender how to mix a specific cocktail, it turns out decent.

During the all-inclusive stay, guests drank about 0.5-0.7L of local hotel wine — it's free but not great tasting, more drunk out of habit than for enjoyment.

Hotel cocktails are weak — you'd need to drink 5-7 of them to actually feel the alcohol, which is more about volume than taste.

For those who don't drink strong alcohol, the first try of hotel drinks can be disappointing, but it reportedly gets more palatable after a few tries.

On the charter flight to Hurghada, no alcohol was served at all, so drinking typically starts only once you're at the all-inclusive resort.
