No drink takes the good out of Good Friday

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.

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But, as with most people, I dont give a damn about the alcohol ban - whether it is rescinded or not.

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

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!

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.

This is probably the only day of the year that the Rex Bar on the Shankill Road becomes a serious consideration. :pac:

I make my own beer, and always have a litre bottle of Jameson for my nightly ration.

By the time I've finished, I'll be pissed as a f**king hand cart, as ever.

1 litre of spirits is 40 units. TEN times the old daily recommended limits for a male man to be drinking.

Now the docs have reduced that limit to three per day

I recall an old war story in which a group of Russians captured and drank a supply of German made Isopropyl alcohol, poisonous to drink. The Russians must have thought all alcohols were drinkable and many got very sick and some died as a result.

The Russians at the time used to severely punish soldiers for any reckless self harm as they figured the soldiers were trying to evade combat and a very likely death by deliberately making themselves sick. The story goes that the hapless survivors were shot for their foolishness.

The yanks used to mix Methyl alcohol with Ethyl alcohol made for non drinking purposes during the Prohibition era. The authorities figured it was better to poison or kill any alcoholic desperate enough to drink cleaning alcohol rather than allow the public to break the total and strictly enforced prohibition on the consumption of alcohol the States, which was in force from 1919 to 1933.

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.

Probably one of the most pathetic things is seeing the queues in the off licence the night before. People panic buying drink. Says a lot really.

What do people google to find these old ****e threads?
