“I’ve never seen anyone get stabbed the whole time I’ve been here,” said Chris Robinson, 21, speaking outside the Loft bar, which had a special deal: four drinks and two shots for $8.

More alarmingly, a 20-year-old British tourist partied with her sister and a friend into the early hours in Malia also in July, then returned to her hotel room and — although she had denied being pregnant — gave birth. Her companions say they returned later to find the baby dead; she has been charged with infanticide.
And Bob's your uncle.

From the article:

They are also hurting themselves in the process. A recent report published by the British Foreign Office, “British Behavior Abroad,” noted that in a 12-month period in 2006 and 2007, 602 Britons were hospitalized and 28 raped in Greece, and that 1,591 died in Spain and 2,032 were arrested there.
What? That number is so big it's hilarious.

Anyway, English tourists are probably the Greek media's second most favorite summer topic. I say good for them. The easy sex* they provide to all the other tourists is an extremely valuable service well worth a few fights and stabbings.

*Provided you remember to double bag it.

A strong currency means it's cheaper for us to fly out there and get drunk than it is to just get drunk in a club back here.

Why we get so drunk? Well, we're a nation of rockstars and students. Nobody wants to be the square at the party, man.

So basically the Britons are taking the crown from Americans and their pre-shitty-economy escapades in Cabo and Cancun.

We need to step our game up and show those redcoats how to party again, people.

For about $50 in Malia, tourists can go on unlimited-drinking pub crawls.
Yes, please. I'll spot someone twenty bucks to bring a wheelchair and push me around so I don't have to stand up and actually move. An extra ten if you bring a video camera I can hold so that anytime anyone asks why you're pushing me around we can claim we're getting "tracking shots for our next film".
