Good for Bavaria: Solid beer drinking, without the debauchery:
The Munich Beer Festival has banned alcopops and pop music to stop the event turning into a 'drunken orgy'.
Scenes of drunken girls dancing semi naked on the backs of male party goers or on tables were flashed around the world last year.
Oktoberfest organisers now want to return to the festival's roots by concentrating on beer steins and traditional brass bands.
Head of the festival Gabriele Weishaeupl said: "It has begun to turn into an orgy for party animals. The tents are not supposed to be discos, but should remain traditional Bavarian beer tents.
