Ah Good Friday.
The one day of the year where people get a bit on the notion-y side of things because it's one of only 2 days a year where the pubs are closed and the sale of alcohol is banned.
(We know that's set to change, but anyway)
Today brings out the funniest on Twitter, as people try to come to terms with the lack of pubs.
The stag and hen parties are always getting a doing:
I'm surprised nobody as ever made a The Hangover style caper about a hen/stag party trying to get a drink in Ireland on Good Friday.

Could be last alcohol ban on Good Friday in Ireland - will miss those shocked stag & hen parties when greeted with the news!

If you're cruel, go to Temple Bar & check out the look on the faces of the stag parties finding out that all bars are closed on Good Friday.

I really feel Ryanair should do a public service and have a 'don't you know it's GOOD FRIDAY' pop up on their bookings

While for other people, the struggle is just generally real:
My kid :u can't drink wine 2nite its good friday
Me:Jesus liked wine sure he turnd water in2 it
My kid: ur goin to hell 😂

Come to Dublin to discover they don't sell drink on good Friday 😦😅
— Michael Wells (@MikeyWells7)
was gonna drink wine but i HAVE NO WINE and it's GOOD FRIDAY

And then, there's the (brilliant) conspiracy theories:
Do you think Judas was just pissed off cos he couldn't get a drink on good Friday, that's why he sold Jesus out?
— Dave Fleming (@flemfest2016)
What if the ban on alcohol on good Friday is a ploy to get people to drink in their homes and get together, just like the last supper? 🤔

Happy Easter weekend folks!
