I myself never found the appeal in Drinking Around the World.
Many of the offerings are overpriced and either mediocre, or extremely commonplace. My local bars have a better selection of foreign beverages than many of the countries. There are some standouts, but many are not.

If someone is being disruptive, report them. It is none of your business how much someone drinks as long as they are behaving themselves.

That’s the problem… they are not behaving themselves and they are being disruptive. Reporting them to Disney is useless because they care more about the money drinking brings in and not the guests having a good experience.
Tell me why posters are fine griping about other Disney faults and issues that ruins their experience after spending tons of money but it’s not all right to gripe about drinking excessively and bringing a bad park experience…. hypocritical.

Sure… I’ve been going to Dis many years too. I’ve never seen a guest climbing Mexico pavilions pyramid …. But it has been reported as happening. Just because you have not seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. You may have not seen disruptive guests from drinking but many others have and have reported it on this and other sites.
Cool beans. Once again. a spent over 365 days at Disney no issues. Way more issues to worry about than you wishing to limit drinks per person....

That is cherry picking an extreme example. I also saw a late 60’s man tell a kid at the Wave Breakfast Buffet to go the right F….ng way while he was actually going the wrong way. Should we get rid of buffets because there are anxious overeaters? Let’s just shut everything down over outrageous occurrences.

I've seen someone climbing the Mexico pyramid during one of the F&W festivals we were at. My kids pointed that one out to me and all I could do was SMH. I personally don't drink (never have), I've only had one other instance where someone was intoxicated in the queue TT behind us. They were very boisterous, swearing loudly, and the last straw was when they started rough housing and knocked my son over (he was 5 at the time). I made my way back to the entrance to inform the CM what was occurring. Security arrived soon after and escorted them out of the cue.
I could care less about the alcohol and consumption that happens in the park so long as the behavior doesn't affect guests. I feel there is enough bad behavior occurring in the parks without adding alcohol to the mix (not that one begets the other). I've definitely been to many of the Epcot festivals and seen zero instances of intoxication. But I do think the Disney should be like any other establishment that serves alcohol and ensure that people are getting "over-served".

Even though I adamantly disagree with your implication that there are hoards of drunks roaming around World Showcase disrupting vacations for families across the globe, there is a very simple solution for you: Just do World Showcase when it first opens when it is too early for this supposed drunken apocalypse. Then move to Future World later in the day. Problem solved. You can adjust your schedule to avoid what bothers you. I happen to be bothered by gigantic groups of screaming teenagers so I avoid the parks during Pop Warner. You can avoid the Showcase late in the day when people are enjoying alcoholic beverages. Easy.

Extreme? Are you kidding me. We are discussing behavior connected to drinking and you need to bring up a swearing guest at a buffet. There’s no connection to the topic being addressed.
If you want to add to the discussion stay on topic. I was referring to his earlier post about never seeing bad behavior at EP around drinkers during his many trips as if that proves bad behavior doesn’t occur despite many other guests reporting their experiences.

Sure, I could very well avoid Disney but why should I ? I’m a paying guest that wants to enjoy a family setting. Disney should be just as responsible as a bartender who shuts off their paying customers who have reached their limits.

Did I tell you to avoid Disney? I did not.

Where did I ever say there are hoards of s drunks roaming the park? No, just a few that stand out. I don’t care how much they drink as long as the behavior doesn’t reach the point of being obnoxious and unruly. When it does Dis should be responsible for over serving.

This is not the first or the tenth time this topic has come up. Certain people always dubiously proclaim that EPCOT has been overrun with thousands and thousands of drunks. Others respond that they have never seen this. I am one of the ones who has never seen this and I have been thee plenty of times. Drinking around the world is one of the most fun vacation experiences I have had and I’ve done it multiple times. It’s hard to get plastered when you are constantly moving - you can easily do 7 miles at EPCOT. I’ve never once gotten sloppy and I have never seen anyone sloppy either. I highly recommend it.

I feel like I am speaking to you in a foreign tongue. I said you can avoid your perceived drunk apocalypse by going to World Showcase early in the day. Good lord.

And others have seen it. Because you have never seen it doesn’t man it’s never happened. You obviously can handle your drinking and you do DAtW responsibly… good for you. You aren’t someone that’s a problem. I have no issue with DAtW. Like any Dis event, it can be done so everyone can enjoy. Everyone handles their consumption of drinks and is affected by it differently. I know people who would get blitzed on a few drinks and others who could drain a keg with barely any affects. Walking WS doesn’t keep a person sober.

Back to OPs question...we've found that the hand mixed drinks in China (Joy of Tea) are some of the strongest drinks in Epcot. Morocco used to have some really potent drinks, especially the ones that were in the machine towards the back of Tangierine Cafe. The drink stand closer to Spice Road Table also used to have some fun ones, but assuming it's what's labeled as the Morocco Juice Bar, the menu is no longer very fun. In general, drinks inside the parks tend to be weak compared to what's offered at the resort restaurants and lounges. While drinking around the world can be very fun, I would recommend a resort area crawl or a monorail crawl for some more inspired beverages.
