    Tis funny the fuss people make over just 1 day. The complainers should go and live in some enlightened liberal Scandanavian nordic country where you can only buy alcohol from the one and only state-owned off license for 2-3x the price it's here and is closed every Sunday and only open a couple of hours on saturday

    When the ban is lifted next year, there will be a disasterous warp in the smug continuum.

    Irish people are so silly...
    If the pubs were open, it would just be a normal day.
    But because there is a rule that says you can't do something. We jump to try and get around the rule.

    I worked an off license, and the day before good Friday is a joke. Full of clowns that don't often drink but will on good Friday, because it's cool to get pissed on the day you're not supposed to drink.

    The Good Friday ban on alcohol hasn't been there forever. It brought in 90 years ago, in 1927.

    And it is likely that it will be gone next year.

    Won't make much difference - people used to stay in and drink whatever they wanted anyway.

    In 100 years time, nobody will remember it.

    It'd still be a busy night in pubs as it's the start of a springtime long weekend.

    You may be right. There used to be a ban on alcohol sales on Saint Patrick's Day as well, which was fairly unpopular. Only the older folks would remember that.

    No, irish people are the coolest mo fos around
    It's a day off from work, all your mates have the day off too, it's the start of a long weekend, it's time to party

    What do people find so hard to comprehend about this

    In most countries they have unofficial party days, this is just one of hours.

    Having to work on good friday is what pisses me off. Why is it a bank holiday and not a fully fledged public holiday?

    One Good Friday some years ago I was in Mullingar Railway station when a Steam Special arrived from Dublin.

    When it stopped it was as if the entire cast of the walking dead were on board. With few exceptions every single passenger was completely spifflicated.
    Just becasue you could get drink on the train on Good Friday.

    We are a funny country.

    Funniest thing about Good Friday is the 'where's open for drink' panic from people.
    i wonder if that's how heroin addicts feel when their dealer has a lie in?

    Those steam specials are like that whenever they run.
