Good Friday Drink related megathread thing.

Well, late-bars and nightclubs I mean.

Or do they kick you out at 12am with a "Happy Easter" and a slap on the arse.

Sir Gallagher

All bars/clubs should be shut by 12 except hotel bars i think.

Well now, how would Irish people function if that were to happen, there'd be chaos...

stupidusername

in fairness really though, all the supermarkets are doing crap loads of deals on alcohol, and loads of people are off tomorrow, with some places closed, and when the thing to do with your time in Ireland is go to the pub, who could blame people for being in a bit of a tizzy over it all.

ScumLord

I got a modest stockpile of 10 bottles of Grolsch which should see me through the barren times of tomorrow.

Crackity Jones

Wow. Grolsch is still on sale here. Mad ted.

i rarely drink at home, but even i considered getting a bottle or two, just to have in. what the fudge is wrong with me. I think it's the whole not being able to do something that makes me more aware of it, and makes me think it's the one time i want to do it.

like needing to pee before getting on a bus.

I don't think that's really the point though...

Archaic licensing law put in the place by old Catholic Ireland, I might not want to go for a pint on Good Friday, but DAMMIT I'm entitled to the option...

That's more it than anything else!

Gummy Panda

I have no booze. fúck good friday

1. Why should anyone "have" to eschew something they consider a recreational activity?
2. Why this particular day?

Dunny

Sure didn't the lord himself pause on the cross for a pint of stout before giving himself up for the world?

Sad Professor

I'm so glad I'm not working to night. We always get several panic-striken people who arrive at the till after 10pm with a trolley full of beer and start throwing abuse at us when we tell them we can't sell alcohol.

Let me read to you an appreciation letter to thine Holy Thursday.


Dear Holy Thursday,
How are you? Good (Friday) to hear. But enough about you. As is tradition I strolled along to ye olde local offy. T'was a sight to see. Queues as far as recently laser surgery enhanced eyes can gaze upon. Every race, every gender, every orientation and every fake-ID handling youngster gathered upon this magical Supervalu til. You might think:"ARGGH!! **** THIS RELIGIOUS ****E!! BACK TO JESUS WITH YE AUL FOGIES" or something exceedingly dramatic in the same vein.

For me it's a chance to have awkward conversations with pals of friends I knew in school. An opportunity to pretend I have something more important to do than wait in a line. When you reach the counter a sense of achievement that only us as an alcoholic nation can understand. I hope you never leave us Good Friday sale of alcohol outside of airports and greyhound tracks ban.

Until next year Holy Thursday.

Regards,
Your typical Irish stereotype.

starviewadams

12 Tuborg and 7 bottles of Heineken leftover from last weekend.

Job done!

PS: Up your's Ratzinger!

BhoscaCapall

I can do without it, that's why I'm asking. If they close at midnight I'll leave it. Was told that it was normal closing hours tonight though, same deal as when the clocks change.

Sounds like one or two of the above could do with a drink :rolleyes:
