not caused the issue. It is the fact that people are consuming their own drinks/snacks outside of the room - around the pool etc.
They are obviously not able to police the pool area, checking to see whether people are buying from the bar or not so instead they are now policing what people bring into the hotel.
It is one thing to have a couple of drinks in your room before heading out for the evening, quite another to sit around a hotel pool all day drinking your own when the hotel has a bar facility.
