Laws governing the sale of alcoholic drinks.
Most countries have some restrictions on the
sale of alcoholic drinks, if not an outright
ban, as in the case of Islamic countries. In
Britain, sales can only be made by pubs,
restaurants, shops, and clubs which hold
licences obtained from licensing justices.
The hours during which alcoholic drinks can
be sold are restricted, but they have been
recently extended in England and Wales in
line with Scotland. From August 1988 licensed
premises can sell alcohol between 11am and
11pm Monday to Saturday, and 12 noon to 3pm
and 7pm to 10.30pm on Sundays. These hours
may be extended for special occasions, by
application to the licensing justices.
