Start serving a few hours early.  Sorry, it makes no sense.  A lot of bars are open and serving at 9 and 10 in NANA.

 

What a lot of them do is look at it as a chance to actually go home early for a change.

 

Actually what a lot do is actually look to stay open in any way they can.

I think I over bought beers last few days. I now have 10 tallies in the fridge for tomorrow's no alcohol day 😀

Funny habit you guys have of adding a vowel sound at the end of a lot of words and names.

Being married to a Thai his comments were interesting.

I presume you mean you are married to a Thai, not the Dalai Lama!

What about drugs ? Will the junkies be banned from their candy at midnight when the ball ends ? Obviously not.

 

     Damned weed junkies, a boon on society! 😏

Most people here are too young to remember but it used to be that bars were closed on Sunday and religiou holidays in the 60 early 70 in Canada 

 

Beer sales were closed along with LCBO 

And in UK a while back. Closed in Scotland on Sundays. Pubs closed 2 til 5, just like here.

Never heard of it so looked it up; seems to be a Quensland thing. In Sydney they were "longnecks" or simply "bottles" although the latter wasn't widely used by the time I started drinking.

Several years ago I seen a documentarty where the Dalai Lama was interviewed about modern day Buddhism in general. Being married to a Thai his comments were interesting. Just before the interview finished he was asked about his thoughts on Thai Buddhism. He paused and cringed, then said no comment.

In general, when you got nothing to look forward you need believe in something thus religion. 🤣

The weak follow.

"cant you stop drinking constantly why dont you go brew some green tea and do something healthy for once why cant you be a man and take care of yourself you dlob oh yeah and stop eating meat and smoking and whoring and do something productive with your life like find a job have you even looked for work today"

 

Pls, go easy on alcoholics. Being a "tripper" is easy to get fix;

 

What is tripper slang for?
"someone who has taken a psychedelic drug and is undergoing hallucinations."

Not forgetting devout Buddists with multiple mia nois, the younger the better.

You obviously do not understand hi-so Buddhism.

 

How can one be truly sincere in their lack of desire for carnal pleasures or material possessions if they do not first experience them fully?

Testifies to the power of prayer, no? More of our mongers should try it in hopes of paying lesser bar fines.
