I guess you skipped that part out.

I stated the alcohol as as problem, because in one of our hostels, we were allowed to bring our drinks,but not the other one.
Than perhaps, state that. Its obvious a hostel can choose what they allow in and out. Generally, they want to make money - hence paying a few extra reais for the beer. But hey, your in Brazil, grab a few cold ones and go to the beach.
Also, I am from a city very similar to Sao Paulo. It was boring for the days around the 1st of January.
A big city where people will most likely go away for the holiday period. I'd do the same if I worked in SP.
I returned there for 2 nights at the end of my trip and it was a excellent place. Glad you got to experience it though. Its a great city you just got to scratch below the surface a bit.
