booze please!

Agent Smith

anyone know anywhere that you can drink on good friday?

TheWolf

At home?

Lainey

a house party........ unless your very friendly with someone who owns a pub..
it's the one day you'd be dying for a pint ha ha:D

alleepally

oh ffs, this age old question. Why didn't you buy your booze this evening? somehing about the trains being able to serve drink if your that desperate? watch TV3 tomorrow, they'll have some pathetic report on the Good Friday Booze ban and the search for places where booze can be served. - every year they do it.

if yr going, can i come???????
promise to only have one pint.. just one, really just one..

Capt'n Midnight

Try Norn Iron else it will be wails..

It's a long shot and would require bladder control - but you may be able to get root beer or other low alcohol drinks (~1%) in a supermarket ...

Liquers - but chocolates in large amounts are laxitives.

Put up an add on the Wanted forum - tinnies, cash , will collect etc.

not many like me ha ha.. joking..:D

good for you, vodka..:D

You can drink on trains, once it is in motion. You can drink in the departures lounge in an airport..... assuming they will actually open the bars at these locations. But it is in fact legal to drink in the afformentioned places.


John...


P.S., we sold so much wine in work tonight. Tomorrow, there will be people begging me to sell them some wine.

As said before, it's only one Day FFS

I have a bottle of vodka and a bottle of Smirnoff Ice and some cans. I don't intend to drink any just because we have one day without drinking :rolleyes:

Anyone else notice that town was VERY busy on Wednesday night because all the little Irish knackers couldn't go out and get pissed, in the same way, this Thursday or Friday?

Bottle of Jagermeister, Malibu and Pineapple, mmmmm

In my home town, everyone gets pie eyed on Good Friday.

I went out to the off licence last night and bought booze.

After 12 midnight, I started to drink..... got drunk...... had an eight hour snooze.

Going to eat a bit, do stuff, then get drunk again.

Getting drunk at home - only way to fly.

oh how wonderful it is to have your own gaf with bottles of wine just waiting for you to come home to them....

Stark

Sweet jesus, it's only 1 day. If you're that much of an alchoholic you should be keeping a stash of whiskey for drinking when the family's not looking anyway.

rymus

Somehow the raging alcoholism thats being displayed here makes my own seem less... raging.

If you cant survive for 1 day without a drink then you have a problem. Go get yourself a few bottles of coke and a tube of pringles and you'll be grand.

Sleepy

Ugh, drink, not even over last nights hangover yet...

Am getting the train home tonight though so I might partake of one or two hair of the dog...

Tusky

Last year I got booze from a supermarket, you could try getting wine from a garage too.

Stark

Ah the sugar molecule, almost identical to the alchohol molecule but suitable for kids

Maybe this is just another urban myth that I have fallen for, but I thought that there was a small number of pubs (<10) in Ireland that could open all year round, something to do with archaic licensing laws about being beside a port and needing to stay open for sailors and such like. I think there's one on the Connemara road near Spiddal, or then again I'm probably just talking nonsense.

its not the fact that people cant go without drink fo a day , but the fact that we are being told we cant because of the crappy church deciding it anti god r sumting, its ridiculous that they should have any say in the law. most people either dont care bout religion or dont go to mass, not to mention all the non catholics that are now in Ireland, surely if your not a (practising) catholic you should have the choice to buy alcohol.

alleepally

"its not the fact that people cant go without drink fo a day , but the fact that we are being told we cant because of the crappy church deciding it anti god r sumting"

What are you on about? The Church doesn't decide the law!! The law could be changed in the morning if the Government wished. Despite what you might think or the media might have you believe, there are a lot of people out there who think Good Friday is a special day and perhaps it's not such a bad idea that we have one day of sacrifice and freedom from the mayhem the pubs cause on the streets.

It's your choice not to be a believer but don't go around spouting statements like "crappy church" and belittle those who wish to proclaim their spirituality as a Christian and be a member of the Church.

Nothing stopping you or anyone else drinking if you wish. This one day is just a day that the democratically elected government determines you can't buy alcohol. LIVE WITH IT or LOBBY YOUR TD TO GET IT CHANGED if you feel so strongly about your right to buy drink 365 days a year....

Oriel

Wine, now there's a idea. Might try the aul', wine-Guinness combo :-)

DUX

Impossible for you guys to stay 1 day per year with no drinks???
And no, I am not religious, before somebody ask me!!

damnyanks

I don't mind not drinking today, although we are being told that we cannot drink. It is related to the church as when it was drawn up the church had a far stronger influence on the country.

Any other countries forbid places to sell alcohol on good Friday? I don't know of any... but I havnet really looked.

I'm guessing Ireland is one of hte few (If not the only!)

Urban Weigl

The pubs will be open tomorrow (Saturday) though, right?

Stark

Are the pubs still open for selling soft drinks and stuff though? (they offer such great value for money on soft drinks ).

Sleepy

ROFL!

You can drink in the bars in train stations if you have a valid ticket. The bar in Galway train station is always full on Good Friday, with everyone buying tickets to Athenry (first stop!).

You will get a drink in Garda golf clubs, GAA clubs They make up some excuse for an exemption in the courts, now if you were a member of lets say a fishing club which looks for an exemption in the courts because of a competition the club is running, like me! the local super will threaten you with harassment for the rest of the year if the club goes ahead with it. True story BTW I Live in bray, if you know the super

Well, to celebrate Jesus's birthday they probably did some extra bukkaking. As well as extra holy hole holing.

I used think that when I was a young teenager

then I realised that

it's the Friday of a Bank Holiday weekend
lots of people have the day off work

imagine if the pubs closed on the Friday of the June Bank Holiday or August Bank Holiday.

if they want to close fair enough - but a more appropriate day would be say a Monday in late January when no one has money after Christmas

Sarky

I would dearly love to see what would happen to Ireland if the country was deprived of alcohol for just two weeks.

Stark

I love that "Ireland before alchohol" sketch in Family Guy with the utopian society. "The intellectual leaders come together to toast a new scientific discovery, the conversion of barley into whiskey"

The divorce courts would be swamped, crime would drop 90% and the government would experience a strange phemonenon known as "governing"

capistrano

The government would also experience a strange phenomenon known as "budget defecit" after all the tax they levy on alcohol is gone!

Lainey

well i think it's crap.. open the pubs
btw.. i have a pint of bulmers in front of me wit loads of ice in it. .yummy:D
