latest update:
just returned from Sanur, Bali and getting international spirits has been a bit of a hit-and-miss affair.

Lots of the smaller restaurants and bars didn't have gin or vodka (maybe other stuff too but we only asked about gin & vodka) when we first arrived (5th September).
None of the restaurants and bars were offering local spirits as an alternative either - which we would have been happy with.
So we had a few Arak-based cocktails.

We couldn't buy local gin in any of the small supermarkets that we'd always used before and in fact the only place we found it was Hardy's.

There's a 'Liquor Shop' in Sanur and apparently it was '20 questions' if non-Balinese wanted to buy international spirits.
We never tried.

It did seem to get a bit better towards the end of our holiday.
Bintang beer was always available.
