How about some personal responsibility- buy your booze the day before.

That's why I keep a very large stash of alcoholic inventory in my house.

I guess you should have bought enough alcohol before hand. If this isn't a new law, then why are you whining?
4 :
buy it before hand. its what everyone else does. PLAN AHEAD.

The Republic of Ireland is a theocracy - like Iran or Syria. Selling condoms was illegal there until the 1970's, and abortion is still illegal under most circumstances. It is how the Irish want it.
6 :
Stock up on Thursday. Can you buy birth control in Ireland now? That restriction seemed like a much greater inconvenience.

I don't understand why people whine so much about "fair". Fair is not something nature put into place; fair is an entirely human concept, and a subjective concept at that. If laws are not Christian enough, people whine. If they are not secular enough, other people whine. If they are not diverse enough people whine; if they are too diverse other people whine. One person sees a law and deems it fair; others think the same law is unjust. They are what they are; if you don't like them try to change them. If you are overruled by the political system, deal with it. Move if you don't like it; or buy it on Thursday next year.

Ha, an Irish friend complained about that a few hours ago. I don't drink but if I was a drinker, I'd stock up the day before.

Every dog on the street knows you need to stock up on thursday... Hop on a train or catch a theatrical show, or book into a hotel if you are desperate :D those are the only loopholes
10 :
It's not like they kept it a secret or anything...why didn't you stock up yesterday?
11 :
Not at all. Even Catholics aren't forbidden to drink on Good Friday.
12 :
You should have bought some yesterday.
