A British expat living in Benidorm has sparked a lively debate after revealing his unconventional holiday breakfast ritual – pairing a full English with a pint of beer.
"It just sets the day right," the unnamed Brit told fellow travellers, insisting the combination is the perfect way to kickstart a day of sunbathing and poolside relaxation.
The Breakfast Pint Controversy
While some holidaymakers recoil at the thought of alcohol before noon, the expat argues that Spain's more relaxed drinking culture makes morning tippling perfectly acceptable. "When in Rome... or in this case, Benidorm," he quipped.
Why This Combo Works
The breakfast enthusiast outlined several benefits to his controversial routine:
- The carbs in beer provide quick energy for a day of activities
- The alcohol helps relax tense holiday muscles
- It's significantly cheaper than morning cocktails
- The combination beats the Spanish heat better than tea or coffee
Local Reactions
Spanish bartenders report seeing increasing numbers of British tourists adopting this morning ritual, particularly among younger holidaymakers. "They always say it's 'hair of the dog' after a big night out," one waiter commented.
Nutritionists, however, warn that regular morning drinking could lead to dehydration and poor decision-making under the Spanish sun. "Moderation is key, especially in the heat," advised one health expert.
The Ultimate Holiday Hack?
Whether you're horrified or tempted by this breakfast suggestion, it's certainly got people talking. As one amused holidaymaker put it: "At least they're not drinking sangria before noon – that's progress!"
