Stag parties? Are they trying to get rid of the Milky Way (Melkweg)?

Pub crawls? City centers in holland have maps of pub crawls.

Cannabis use? You can't drink in a smoke house and can't smoke in pubs. Where is the problem?

It sounds like they might be trying to ban package tours and booze cruises where partygoers get unlimited drinks. Some other tourist spots have implemented similar restrictions. Tourists can still go on pub crawls, but they have to pay entrance fees and buy drinks individually instead of doing "all-you-can-drink" packages. Those big organized tour groups can go wild in a way that normal stag parties and pub crawlers usually don't.

Oh. Didn't think of that. Never been on a booze cruise or party bus. During my day it was just some friend or two backpacking through Europe on the Euro pass and staying at Youth Hostels and meeting some new friends at a new pub/bar/club. Different times.
