Boozy Brits heading to the Olympic games in Paris have been warned about ‘stronger’ French drinks.

With thousands set to head across the channel to cheer on Team GB this summer, spectators have been warned about what they order.

Despite French stadiums having an alcohol ban, bars across the hosting city are expecting to be jam packed with alcohol-loving sports fans.

However, Brits have been served a warning by the Foreign Office who have advised fans to ‘know their limits’.

In the Safety and Security section for travel advice to France the Foreign Office states: “If you drink, know your limit.

“Drinks served in bars in France are often stronger than those in the UK.”

The extremely popular French beer Kronenbourg 1664 that was formerly endorsed by the equally popular Eric Cantona, is a clear example of the difference.

In France the beer is sold with a 5.5% alcohol volume whereas in the UK market it has a lesser 4.6% volume, as reported by Need To Know.

It may also be an expensive trip for the Brits, with the average beer price in Paris sitting at £6.50

With Team GB hoping to come home with anywhere from 50 to 70 medals supporters will have plenty of reason to celebrate.

Over 300 athletes will be representing Great Britain at the summer games.

Out of the 300 the medal hopes will fall on amazing athletes such as Dina Asher-Smith, Adam Peaty and Andy Murray.

The Olympic games will be starting in the French capital on 26 July and lasting until 11 August.

With the Paralympics starting on 28 August lasting until 8 September.
