That's obviously why they have such a binge drinking problem, it's a race against the clock. In my area of Canada, can't sell alcohol between the hours of 2am and 9am. With the exception of new years where you can keep selling alcohol until 3am.

Normally Belgium loves regulating everything, but there are no rules for when bars and restaurants are allowed to be open. They can serve people 24/7 if they want, and sell alcohol, as long as they follow labor laws. I live near a college town, bars usually close only when there are no more customers, so every Thursday night pretty much all of them are open all night. I was joking earlier, but I suspect that this really is part of why Brits have such a reputation for being drunken and violent. They have to (have to!) drink large amounts of beer in a short period of time, and then they're forcibly turned out into the streets with predictable results.

IIRC session beers were developed as an alternative to full pints so folks on a lunch break can have little a beer as a treat and not be totally sloppy when operating heavy machinery.

It's sort of the opposite of that: they're for when you're going to be at the bar or another event for a long while socializing and don't want to end up hammered, so you choose a low-alcohol beer and don't drink it too quickly. I mean, obviously someone who wants a lunch beer without really feeling it after might order that too, just hat "session" refers to more extended drinking sessions at some social gathering. you actually want to remember in the morning.

In fact "porters" and then "stout porters" were developed for a more satisfying lunch break in a shorter time. For, ya know, porters

It's possible to drink all night and never get drunk by just drinking other things. Or do you not have any non-beer options there? "Finish your beer Billy, it will make you grow up big and strong."

I posted about it in the PYF Historical Pics threads, and made a thread about it in GBS which a few people enjoyed, but I'll post them here because I think they're funny and interesting and also it was a lot of work to scan them without horrifically damaging the book. I have a handed-down book, likely from my mom's mom's side of the family, called the Library Of Health from 1916, by B. Frank Scholl. It is 1700+ pages, 20 books in 1 volume, of diseases and their preventatives and cures. So while a majority of the book is just about diseases, the authors decided that for some reason Book 19 will be dedicated to Jiu-Jitsu, including how-to pictures of various moves you can try against would-be attackers.             It included all these, minus lessons A and B because that page was 90% missing, having been ripped out who knows how long ago. Perhaps the techniques displayed on that page were too powerful.

There is a bar/restaurant down by the harbor in my city that opens at 6:30 AM. They don’t start serving breakfast until 8. The owner is a retired lobsterwoman, and the place has their own lobster boat. It’s the greatest townie bar in the world. There’s a refrigerator in the dining room, and there are Hoodsie Cups on the dessert menu .

You know someone ripped out those pages to pin them up at the barn to look at them while training, with whatever the 1920's equivalent of "You're the best" playing on a gramophone.

Haha, that's great. Any martial arts fighty people itt? Aside from the obvious difficulties associated with learning JIU-JITSU through squinting at faded lithographs, would these moves actually achieve anything??

Amphigory posted:When I was at uni in Glasgow a few times our first lecture of the day got cancelled and a guy on my course used to take us to a pub he knew that would serve you a pint at 9am, as long as you were also eating Never been more disappointed than finding out there are loving conditions to getting a pint in Scotland at 9 o'clock. Like if I want a pint at 9 I just go to any bar that's open at 9. Why would they even be open if they didn't sell alcohol  (If I want a pint before 9 I can go to a hotel breakfast.)

They can serve people 24/7 if they want, and sell alcohol, as long as they follow labor laws. I live near a college town, bars usually close only when there are no more customers, so every Thursday night pretty much all of them are open all night. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/what-was-the-six-oclock-swill ON THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1916, you could get a beer in a South Australian bar after dinner. You could get a second, a third, or even a fourth, and sit, nursing your beverage. At 11 p.m. or perhaps half past, the bar would close, and you’d bumble tipsily home. But the next day, South Australians voted in a referendum to force pubs to close each day at six—closing time for the late-night tipple. ... Every day, workers rushed to the nearest bar at 5 p.m. Instead of lingering over their beers, as they had once done, they spent an hour crushed up against the bar, spiralling swiftly into crapulence. After 60 minutes of fast-paced, empty-stomach drinking, the ringing of a six o’clock bell announced a “supping-up” time of 15 minutes. Instead of remaining at the pub, people would head home, pickled as newts, and drink beer from “riggers” that they kept in their houses. .... In 1962, Caddie Edmonds published an embellished autobiography, Caddie: A Sydney Barmaid, in which she describes the six o’clock swill: “It was a revolting sight and one it took a long time for me to take for granted. The smell of liquor, the smell of human bodies, the warm smell of wine, and on one early occasion even a worse smell, as a man, rather than give up his place at the counter, urinated against the bar.” The end of early closing supposedly signaled the end of this degeneracy. But 50 years of enforced binge drinking took its toll. Today, Australia and New Zealand have a well-documented culture of alcohol abuse, and remain among the most well-lubricated countries in the western world. In the end, the regulations did exactly the opposite of what they had intended, with consequences that stretched well beyond last call.
