Holiday insurance and drinking

[JDMTim]

I'm visiting some friends in America in a couple of weeks for a music festival, no doubt there will be a bit of drinking involved.

Does anyone know of any holiday insurance co's that will cover if you get hurt whilst under the influence, or am i just going to have to be extra careful? ha!

Don't see why not. Read the small print. The vast majority of people who are on holiday will be under the influence wether it is a beside the pool jobby, stag weekend or a travelling type holiday.

I'd say you should be covered.

Have a good one.

Remember to take your ID with you wherever you go if you want to buy alcohol. Even i get asked and i'm 50!

If you're drunk and have an accident there's a good chance the insurance co wouldn't pay out.

That was my understanding also.

Bare in mind though, there is a difference between having had a beer or 2 and been mortal drunk.

yeah, what he said, if you end up in hospital due to an alcohol related injury your insurance probably wont pay out..

but if you have an accident after a couple of beers you should be okay.
