Great Britain closed off the Closing Time for their pubs. From today on, the barkeepers won’t have to close their bars at 11 p.m. and may continue to serve their guests some booze! Enjoy Britain! Enjoy yourself – and may the headaches be with you – especially during the week! No more civilized conversations in the evening, but party and a „boozy Armageddon“ for all of them.

Britain’s licensing laws – largely unchanged since they were tightened in 1915 to keep factory workers sober – have long been derided as an anachronism. They required most pubs to close at 11 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 10:30 p.m. on Sundays.
