    Do many pubs in waterford still offer the option of taking away a few cans or whatever at the end of a night? I haven't seen this happen for a while

    If so, which ones offer the best selection?

    I believe the phrase you should have refered to is "off licence" (i.e. a store that sells alcoholic beverages for consumption elsewhere; A shop selling alcohol for consumption only off the premises) not "take away" (of or involving food to be taken and eaten off the premises; "takeout pizza"; "the takeout counter";`take-away' ).

    On a finer point do you frequent public houses just to see if people get beverages to bring home for some afters? As for the merits of each of Waterford's off licences why not peruse their multifarious websites. Failing that spend your day, evening or leisure time visiting each in person to see what they can supply you with viz a vis your alcohol consumption preferences. Better still why not save this pleasure for the weekend & you can regale your work colleagues with your pearls of wisdom in the works caffeteria at Monday morning break.

    Legally pubs can no longer sell take away drink at closing time. This is due to the licensing laws implemented a few years ago which set down closing time of 10pm. This measure was put in place to stop people buying drink at closing time and continuing drinking into the early hours.
