Couple carries out 'scientific' test to check if all-inclusive holiday resort waters down their drinks

Brits are known for their affinity with package holidays, but sometimes it's worth wondering why they keep prices so low.

A British couple dared to question how strong their drinks were while on holiday in Turkey.

Chelsea Dickensen, who runs the TikTok account @goedkoopholidayexpert showed her 134,000 followers how to use an 'alcohol meter' in the clamp to test her fans' theory that “cheap all-inclusive hotels water down the drink.”

The couple tested gin and vodka and Chelsea joked that it wasn't an entirely 'scientific' method when the alcohol content came out lower than expected.

Chelsea and James used a refractometer to check if her drink was strong abroad, testing her fans' theory that this was how they kept prices low

Chelsea said: 'This is an alcohol meter because many of you said they water down the booze in cheap all-inclusive hotels. We don't believe it, James?

“We felt we should conduct a scientific experiment just to prove to you that they are legit.”

Using a pipette, James placed drops of gin into the refractometer – a device that can be used to measure the alcohol content in liquids.

They expected it to detect an alcohol volume of 37.5 percent in the drink, but the results showed only 33 percent.

However, they weren't shy about it and explained some things that could affect the potency of the drink, with James explaining: 'Temperature can vary the accuracy of this.'

They then decided to test their experiment with vodka, which should also have a volume of 37.5 percent, but was again down at 33 percent.

Chelsea asked James, “What does that mean?” To which he concluded, “That means I don't think they're watering them down.”

She confirmed his hypothesis: “We've literally seen them break the seal on brand new bottles, so I'm going to go ahead and say this place isn't watered down,” and James added, “These are honest people.”

TikTok users were big fans of Chelsea and James' hack or not, with some claiming the drinks served were still so cheap it wasn't worth skimping on it

TikTok users were divided over Chelsea's video, which has since racked up an impressive 1 million views – with some super keen to grab their own refractometer, while others found it useless.

One user joked: 'I need someone to do this at Spoons!' while another excitedly chimed in: 'A new item I need to put in my suitcase!'

But another theorized: 'So what? It's all-inclusive, just buy another one' and someone else claimed: 'They get it cheap enough, it's not worth watering it down'.

And another user thought the couple was using the machine incorrectly.

'It is a refractometer and must be calibrated every time. Temperature affects the measurement and is used to measure the sugar content of fruit.'
