I agree Marcie, if the drinks were included throughout the ship, the in room bar setup wouldn't even get used that much, therefore would be pretty easy to give up. I think most people would rather be out on deck or in one of the lounges socializing with friends rather than be in their rooms anyways. Just long as you could order that bottle of champagne (or whatever else you like to drink) gratis from room service when you want to be alone with the one you love, sit out on the balcony and just watch the world go by.
