Meanings
plural alcotourisms
- uncountableusuallyThe practice of traveling to drink alcohol.
My discussion here draws on early stage research into “alcotourism” that seeks to explore the various ways that people travel to drink, drink while traveling, or even drink to travel (Bell, 2008).

Given this association with unruly sexualities, stag tourism remains more controversial than many other forms of alcotourism (Bell 2008), albeit the collapse of sterling against the Euro has somewhat stemmed the flow of UK men to the Baltic states on stag and group tourism.
