EasyJet has said: "Due to a change in Spanish law which affects certain resorts in the Balearic islands, alcoholic drinks are now limited to three per person at lunch and dinner as part of the all inclusive basis."
The new rules were brought in during the summer of 2020, to limit the impact of drunken behaviour on residents.

Alcohol cannot be sold in shops between 9.30pm and 8am, and advertising party boats in certain areas is also prohibited.
