RESEARCH by online travel agency sunshine.co.uk found that as many as two fifths of Britons have booked an overseas holiday whilst intoxicated, with more than a quarter of them admitting that, when sober, they regretted the drunk booking they had made.
The main next-day regrets were about the cost of the holiday, the people they'd picked to go on holiday with, and the accommodation choice.
The survey found that 27% of those who'd made drunk holiday bookings contacted – when they’d sobered up – the travel provider to either cancel or make changes to the booking. The most common changes made included shortening the length of the holiday, downgrading accommodation, and changing the destination completely.
Chris Clarkson, managing director of sunshine.co.uk, said: ‘There are plenty of things that you shouldn't do when drunk; and whilst there are the more obvious ones like driving, operating heavy machinery or texting an ex-partner, booking a holiday should be right up there with them.
‘You need to have a clear head when booking a trip, or else you risk making mistakes that are hard to undo. There are often charges to make changes to a booking and even something as small as inputting your name exactly as it appears on your passport, as is required, can be a challenge after one too many vodkas.’
