Because the drinks at the bar come in very small plastic cups.
By the time you get to your chair in that hot climate you cup will be empty
or warm.

I do
In Mexico the straws are brown paper after three sips they collapse.
Ever try to drink a thick drink out of a paper straw?
In other places we have found the straws to be the very thin kind that
are
used in bars as more of a stirrer than a straw.
Trying to drink something thick like all the frozen drinks through them
is a
real drag.

I always bring a giant thermal cup and a pack of straws.
I fill my cup before we head to the beach or turn in for the night, I
find I
am always thirsty in warmer climates and having a cold drink with me
helps.
Of course if you don't bring a cup you can always buy a soda in the gift
shop.

OK...... good advice

But in an all inclusive aren't all drinks provided
free?

Why would I need to buy anything in a gift shop?
