Check out these opening hours; 10am to 7pm Monday to Friday, 10am to 3pm Saturday (closed sunday). If you want to buy alcohol stronger than 3.5% outside these hours, you've got to go to the pub.
Taking a bottle of wine round a friend's house on Saturday night? Hope you remembered to get it sometime that morning.
A beer in the evening after supper? Only if you remember in time.
This is the state run off-license; they are the only people allowed to sell stronger beers, wines & spirits. Prices are high - generally £1.50-£2 a bottle of beer, but not as painfully high as pubs. The cheapest pub drink was just under £5 (for 500ml, not even a pint!) and we paid £7 the other day in a pretty normal pub. So the idea of going for a quick pint doesn't really seem to happen because it's really quite expensive.
