When Can You Not Get a Drink in Ireland? http://goireland.about.com/od/safetyinireland/qt/alcohol_law.htm This tends to include BelfastGenerally alcohol will not be on sale before mass ends on Sunday. On all other days you should have no problems getting cans or bottles from off-licenses between early morning and late at night. Pubs open near noon and close around midnight, clubs and bars may stay open longer. There are only two days when you will be hard pressed to get any drink - Good Friday and Christmas Day. Did you know drinkers in Northern Ireland have more time to finish their pints than those in Scotland Or that it's illegal to try and buy alcohol for someone who is drunk? www.thesite.org/drinkanddrugs/drinking/responsibledrinking/drinkingandthelaw That's strange ... I've seen publicans serving drink to drunk people. They have to be very drunk before they stop serving them.
