Alcohol

Why are the alcoholic drinks in WDW so weak?

No really...why? My last trip I had several drinks throughout the trip at several places. They were all delicious, but incredibly weak. Has anyone else had this experience?

1) Weaker drinks slow people from getting drunk and misbehaving in public.
2) Less booze saves money.

That's clearly true. I guess the real question is why do we keep buying these lame overpriced drinks(?). Guess I'll stick to LeFou's Brew.

.... and in complete contrast to UORs ‘free pours’ which are very strong.

Most have so much sugar that people probably get sugar highs and mistake that you alcohol intoxication.

This ⬆ and I'll add
3) Because people will put up with it because it's "Disney"
4) Same reason they put up with using Bacardi rum at Trader Sam's when no serious Tiki Bar would.

I'm a lightweight, even though I have several drinks throughout the week. After the exhaustion of walking around the parks, I definitely feel those weak drinks .

My husband and I both thought our drinks at Oga's had a decent enough amount of liquor, though. But again, that could have been the effects of little sleep and caring for a toddler.

Perhaps you answered your own question. If they are delicious, why would Disney need to make them stronger?

From the consumer’s prospective, why do you need them stronger if they are delicious as is?

For the effect of the alcohol. I can order a cheaper drink for the taste.

At Disney I tend to order martinis or Manhattans..... they have more bang for your buck than the juice and soda cocktails.

YES! We have experienced that too but not everywhere. I think it's due to portion control and not wanting to waste a single dollar. I miss the days of the wine add on to the dining plan.
