    Soooooo. is the opening of the pubs on the 21st the next phase of the prohibition?

    Yes, in a cunning plan they are going to open them but wreck them with restrictions... people who had been looking at shut pubs like a kid at a toy shop window on December 8th will flock back to the pubs only to find them ruined.

    The dail voted unanimously in favour of minimum alcohol unit pricing.
    Including Michael mcNamara. How was that not prohibition by stealth Michael?

    That was never enforced though? I can still get a can in Aldi for 89c.

    And what's the deal with the Cowboy Saloon type swing doors installed in the Offy parts of the Supermarkets? Must've been a Govt order cos they've all done it.

    To (i believe) hide the drink or something. The idea as I understand is it now keeps alcohol in an enclosed part of the shop, think aldi, at one time you could go through the pet food & cleaner sections and wander into the off licence part of the store, now, you can’t. Also they’re locked outside trading hours (I think)

    New rules will be introduced today on the sale of alcohol in supermarkets, which will see products cordoned off.

    The new law, introduced under Section 22 of the Public Health Alcohol Act, 2018, will see mixed sale shops being forced to create a barrier or enclosure so alcohol is kept away from the rest of the store.

    The legislation is aimed at reducing the attractiveness of alcohol to children and young people.

    Alcohol Action Ireland said "these in-store separation measures provide a new opportunity to end the normalisation of alcohol throughout society; alcohol is not an ordinary product and should never be seen as such. "

    The wannabe lady here is V8. He is trying to pretend otherwise. V8 is the name he uses on sex chatroom sites and is the name of some big mechanical implement he bought online. All sounds ruff as, to be honest, but if it is what makes her happy, who are we to judge
