Alcohol confiscated from hotel room
Discussion
no they cant, it belongs to you, no more than they can "confiscate" your ipod or socks that you leave in the room.
I've had cleaners steal booze from the room, and complained to management who replaced it.
What hotel is it? independent? large chain?
I'd be surprised to see a large chain doing that, they've plenty of punters spending silly money in the bar downstairs to worry about one guy getting plastered in his room!
I'd have a polite (seriously!) word with the duty manager, if no progress is made toys would be leaving the pram.
ETA, where are you? in the UK, all above stands, lots of other places around the globe (From personal experience Bulgaria for the most "dodgy" hotels I've ever seen), forget about it, it's gone.

How would the prove that the OP intended to consume it in the hotel? They'd have to be present whilst he was consuming it surely?Food & Drink

If you read that literally it suggests they can count up your food and drink, and charge for the equivalent, and confiscate it?
Unfair term? Let's hope that the cleaner wasn't searching bags (!)
(I can understand that they don't want large groups boozing up in their rooms with crates of beer, etc, but still...)

They don't have to."The Duty Manager may also confiscate food or beverage until your day of departure and return it to you."
Seems like a fairly stupid rule, but if they are the rules...
