What about drinking your own alcohol which was purchased days before? hi petedk i am sure the ban refers to public places. doubt you can bring your previous purchases to any public place for consumption. 5 hours ago, petedk said: I guess you are not allowed to give a glass of wine or beer to your dinner guests either.

Looks like you've just solved the problem. Get a local 12 year old kid, riding a motorbike without a helmet, going wrong way down a one way Soi, to go & buy your grog. Easy peasy.

lastmanalive Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Well, just think of the terrible consequences for the nation if voters were allowed to cast their votes while under the influence. I'm sure we can imagine the ensuing chaos. Oh, wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they want the birthday of Her Majesty the Queen to be alcohol- free in order to honor her...then it will be alcohol- free! ...and I would not rule that out, considering how they feel the love!

Alex2015 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) You pay for a bottle of wine in restaurant the day before or pay for alcohol the day before in a bar, you go to the restaurant or bar whilst the ban is in place, technically they are not selling alcohol on the days it is banned. You can buy from the Supermarket the day before and drink it over the W.E. Where ever you want, house, beach etc, what's the difference ?

If the tourists can't appreciate they are in a foreign country and respect their rules well that is just to bad. Instead of sitting there with your comments why not run out and buy some booze?

All those fancy automatic looking weapons only fire one shot at a time. If you rig it to do otherwise you are a lawbreaker. A gun is no different to a brick. It is the person holding it which makes it a weapon or a patio ornament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
