Go to a cheap hotel and rent a room. You can drink in their bar.
Go to the airport and book a cheap flight. You can drink in the airport bar.
Take the ferry to Holyhead. You can drink on the boat.
Don't drink and feel refreshed tomorrow morning. You can drink then.

Maybe you should reflect on why you are thinking of drink before 8am, life is about more than drink, it causes nothing but grief.

No it doesn't. Maybe if you're OP and is thinking about drink before 8am it does, or if you're a pussy and can't handle it.

If I had a can of dutch gold for every good friday drinking thread...

On route to the airport for a weekend in Amsterdam. I'll toast you my first beer at the bar.

I think I'll skip the near-daily pint of Guinness today.

ok well thanks for the advice,

i guess i'll try coffee for the day

Dubh Linn

I think the Good Friday drink ban should have stayed. Now, you might think that I am just being biased because I'm a Catholic, but surely, the country can do without a drink for just one day, in respect for alcoholics or religion, if for nothing else.

One day? Got can go without drink every day if you want. Noone putting a gun to your head.

It is still banned on Christmas day.
How about moving the ban back to St. Patrick's day?

Dubh Linn

Coffee would definitely be a better choice than getting bladdered, especially on a Good Friday.

This is one of the most ridiculous things I have read on Boards.

RobbingBandit

The beer baron will save you, €12 for one can, 330ml. €16 for a 500ml, you don't like it you should have thought ahead.

Dubh Linn

I don't see how that post was ridiculous?

2smiggy

i presume they still sell booze on inter city trains today ?

Badly Drunk Boy

I got a load of alcohol in last night but I won't be drinking any of it today. I was doing my online grocery shopping the night before last, and saw a few bargains (and a few 'essentials') but I'm not feeling a 100% so I'm going to give the alcohol a miss (just like I did yesterday, and the day before, and the day before, and the day before...).

Jesus is happy you have no Dutch Gold.

Nah, I don't like my actions being dictated by your beliefs. I'd feel the same if all meat was illegal to be sold because of Judaism or if beef was illegal to be sold because of a Hindu holiday.

As it happens I wouldn't have been drinking tonight anyway, but if I wanted to I should be able to.

I'll post you a beer OP, hang on a mo...

You'd need to look a little harder

How can someone with Netherlands in their name not have a fridge full of Dutch Gold on Good Friday? :eek:

B0jangles

There you go

(Might want to let it settle for a bit, it could be a bit shaken up)

Lorelli!

No drink takes the good out of Good Friday

Cortina_MK_IV

Think twice about going to Thailand at certain times of the year Nederland. They have more booze-free days. Nothing worse than a honky standing at a checkout in Tops/Big C having a meltdown because he can't get a drink.

Go to mass op they have wine there.

Take it as a suppository. It'll make it more effective.

I heard of some lads doing that a few years ago with tampons and vodka.

Classy.

Seriously though the good Friday no alcohol thing is great.

People get together and have parties to "stick it to the man"
We can't have alcohol you say, well **** you I say, we'll buy alcohol on Thursday and have a party!

I'm too old for this lark now but back in the day it was great craic.

Agreed, good friday parties are fairly good craic. Brings me back to the gaff party days. My only gripe is that it's Catholic Church thing, since I'm not Catholic I don't think it should be a nationwide ban on selling booze in pubs.

Winterlong

Some of the best house parties I have been to happened on good friday.

But, as with most people, I dont give a damn about the alcohol ban - whether it is rescinded or not.

Could work nights or shift? Not everyone is 9-5 bed at 10pm up at 8am

Could always drive up north to get some booze if your that desperate.
Take the train to Belfast drink on the train then go to a bar and drink some more.

Any white spirit in the shed? Does the Mrs have any liquors you could rob?

Failing that have you considered making friends with an elderly neighbour? Old people always have booze stashed away.

Not religious at all so not sure but I'm almost certain there are no masses today. Just stations of the cross. So no wine.

Hopefully this is the last year of this ridiculous, archaic and pointless forced alcohol ban and next year the adult population will be trusted to make their own choices.

I've a house full of alcohol and no interest in any of it

You now also have a few hundred thirsty boardsies descending on your home :pac:

I quite like the ban, if only to see people getting so pointlessly annoyed at their civil liberties being so cruelly restricted. Isn't it little we have to be worrying about!

Atoms for Peace

Just watching the late late country n' Irish special, i know its good Friday but I'm considering drinking toilet duck.

Somebody obviously never travelled by train anywhere on good Friday! I love trains, but you wouldn't catch me on one on good Friday.
