Good Friday...where can you legal drink

Bowlardo

Can you drink in hotels?

I know you can drink the airport but can you drink in hotels?

Fr_Dougal

If you're a resident you can.

You can legally drink in your home

I know this other lad who booked flights, by this I mean the cheapest flights possible for Good Friday from the airport. He then travelled to the airport, drank in the lounge, as its on international territory and was still open, and then went home to bed after.

It's still a Friday to me, personally I love a drink on Friday.

Good Friday should be a choice, if you're religious simply don't drink. I hate how we're all forced into doing it!

It's an absolutely ridiculous law / rule / whatever to be honest.

harry Bailey esq

home is the best,always a party somewhere on good Friday.id say its the second biggest drinking day after st paddys.if any of your mates work in a bar ring them up,bar staff traditionally have a big hooly on good Friday as its the only day of the year they can all socialize together

I worked in a supermarket down the country years ago. The old woman who owned the supermarket used to close down the butchers section on Good Friday, Stupid woman.

Maybe the time to try some skunk weed for a change :D:D

Is that not illegal though man youd still get arrested, would be better to be under arrest for drinking on the day than to be doing drugs like that ya know. Bit stupid

What's the reason for this?

aherringterm

Cause youre not allowed to eat meet only fish on the friday man.

@awec

DerekDGoldfish

Dont know why you cant drink on good friday, what good is a wake without booze, sure Jesus loved a few bottles of wine himself.

You're not supposed to eat meat on Good Friday, dunno why. The canteen at work will have no meat on Good Friday.

EDIT: aherringterm beat me to it.

What about all of them poor tourists milling around Temple Bar and there's nowhere open.

moany

Also if we organised a Gathering , Could we get a liquor license!!!

You can legally purchase one drink with a meal, plenty of hotels (were I work included) will open the restaurant and serve you as many drinks as you like.
You can also drink if you are a resident in a hotel.

Good to hear u gave it up then, most people cant and do anything theyre able to get their hands on the stuff. if you were drinkin on the job though you must have been pretty bad, ha put up the cleaning sign and go to the toilet and down the pint

no, we used good friday as reason to get extra cleaning done and had a piss up afterwards

i know of another track doing the same, right too, they will make a killing

Thwip!

Separation of church and state my ass (and I wont even be drinking. I'm just viewing this from my position as an atheist)

TeddyTedson

I like the way we're forced to do something different though. It's usually a great days, so many parties on and makes a change from going into nightclubs or pubs.
Just make sure you have enough.

There will be a lot of BYOB events in Dublin.

But you can do that anyway? You dont need to legislate a day for it
