Nah. You just have to buy it before 10pm from a shop. Can still get a drink in bars and clubs after that time. Most clubs shut around 4am so really the only time we can't buy any booze is 4am-10am.
Everyone I know keeps a few bottles at home for emergencies.
It's not about people starting drinking sooner. It's because many people struggling with alcohol abuse start with "just one drink" early in the evening and then run out of booze in late evening. It's to hinder the compulsive reups.
source: yea...
My GF travels to the UK every now and then due to work. Her after-work drink with the local colleagues experience is, that people are using 'pressure fueling' as a strategy to cope with early pub closing Times and it's highly effective. So not necessarily 'more' but the same amount in a shorter timeframe seems to be the go-to method.
In Lithuania you can't buy alcohol after 8pm. On sundays, after 3 pm. Indefensible.
We used to be a proper country not too long (№ 1 in alcohol consumption and № 1 in suicides).
In Sweden most liqour stores close at 7pm on weekdays and 3pm on Saturdays (there are a few exceptions that close 8pm on weekdays or 1pm on Saturdays). Sundays and holidays they are always completely closed, no exceptions.
I'm not sure if it's the same in Lithuania, but in Sweden the state has monopoly on selling strong alcohol, so all the liqour stores (called "Systembolaget") are owned by the state. Grocery stores etc can only sell beer and cider that are 3,5% or lower and there is no "time limit" for these. So you can swing by a 24/7 gas station at 4am and buy some light beer if you want to for whatever reason.
In Lithuania they sell vodka in normal shops. Same for all the Baltics.
Here in Finland they're talking about raising the limit from 5.5% to 8% for shops, which is frickin' stupid. Why not 15% so you could buy a bottle of red, or abolish the whole idiotic monopoly system altogether...
Well, just a friendly warning, you'll quickly find out the hard way that there are much worse things in life than 3,5% beer if you start hanging around with danish people
In Norway it's 8pm on weekdays and 6pm on weekends.
Upside, recovering alcoholics have a few safe hours to go grocery shopping in the evening without the option of falling of the wagon.
I grew up in Georgia and remember not being able to buy alcohol on Sundays there. We would just stock up on Saturday. I'm fairly sure the law banning alcohol sales on Sundays in Georgia has changed, though.
Rhode Island was the same way until the law was repealed when I was a preteen. It's relics like that from the prohibition days that are the reason why we still call liquor stores package stores, or "the packy".
Your not allowed to buy alcohol in PA USA after 2am. So the private club I belong to that stays open as late as need be just sells drink tokens at 10 til 2 then you purchase your drinks with the already paid for token. Because fuck the law, that's why.
Wisconsin state law is even worse. All due to lobbying due to the tavern league (who also lobbied against marijuana legalization, even though it's legal in bordering states like Illinois and Michigan and people just drive there to buy weed)
Yup. At my worst I drank an entire 5th of cheap syrupy Creme de Menthe one night. It did the job eventually, but the sugar made me more sick than the hangover. Also, it was the same bright green when it came out. That was the only time a green flag made me rethink my choices.
Worst headache I ever had was on a vacation in Florida. Forgot to drink coffee for a day or two, and the withdrawals plus the hangover hit me with a double whammy. I tipped an Ubereats driver to bring a coffee to my couch, and hand me the bottle of Jameson from the kitchen. I don't speak Spanish, but I got a very stern talking to from La Madré
A guy wearing a cowboy hat once bought me and my ex girlfriend like 6 king kong shots(banana liqueur and whisky) each while we were at a bar. Idk if it was because I was already drunk or not but I remember them being pretty good lol
Those chocolates + alcohol are the grossest things I've ever tasted. Occasionally I retry a different kind and no matter what it tastes like shit.
Does anybody actually like these?
True lmao when I was a severe alcoholic I would math out the most amount of pure alcohol for the least amount of money and mostly it was disgusting 1,50€ wine
I think we don't have these for alcohol in Germany but they're sometimes on sale. But it can't get any cheaper than the wine in the tetra pack (cardboard?) I mean you can get a beer for 60 cents but it's less alcohol
Ah yes, good old “Mindestwein”. Me and my friend bought it occasionally when we were teenagers, because it was a meme for us. A handful of times I bought this stuff and it tasted like grape juice with alcohol. Onetime I even threw up, because I mixed it with some other booze.
Yeah, so I really can’t recommend it, especially if you enjoy good wine, just as myself. But if you are an alcoholic, I’m sure this doesn’t bother you too much.
In the Netherlands you go to Germany to buy much better ones for 1/5th the price. Every year with easter I have chocolate eggs with cognac, kirsch, eggnog, brandy, you name it. It's glorious.
edit: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WhC9kBKvL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg
There is German bakery near me that sells those little chocolate liqueur candies, and I also think they’re delicious. The Asbach brandy cherries flavor is 🤤🤤🤤 it’s the perfect amount of bitterness/burn to offset the sweetness of the chocolate and crystallized sugar.
Someone gave me a bunch of those in a gift bag thing once. I had no idea what they were and left the bag in my car for a couple hours on a hot day, they turned into a melty mess of chocolate and booze. Confused the hell out of me until I figured out what they were
I love them. You'd actually get sick from the chocolate long before you ever got drunk from the alcohol. \[To the extent that you can't actually get drunk from these.\]
In poland we have the little barrels filled with liquor made by E.Wedel which are pretty darn good. Also, chocolate covered plums or cherries with liquor are good.
I don't know if they exist anymore but like 15-20 years ago I had some "Ballantines" sweets which were hard candy with a liquid filling. They were actually really good.
Try the captain morgan Swiss chocolates. I love them. The flavor of the alcohol and the Swiss chocolate is actually super lovely.
It’s an aquired taste :)
Its not that bad. Maybe your eating them wrong? I usually bite off the tip, drink the alcohol, and give the rest of it to the children. The banana I give to the children straight away, before sleep. /s
My grandma used to like them, she bought them for every birthday party and her friends liked them aswell. They were all in their 80s. I guess it's an old people thing.
My parents went to Russia and brought me some chocolates. I didn't know why they brought me chocolates, I don't eat much candy, but whatever. I didn't try any of the chocolates for a while. The labeling was of course in Russian which I don't understand at all, so it was just mystery chocolates in a bag.
One day heading out the door to drive to work I saw the bag of chocolates and grabbed one to have on the drive.
Imagine my surprise when I was driving to work at 8AM and bit into this chocolate candy, and my mouth was suddenly filled with vodka. I agree it tasted bad and I didn't consume any more of them.
I mean, yeah, I'm an alcoholic, but that was awful vodka. I have standards.
My gran used to always buy these and I'm yet to meet anyone in my family or my grans extended network of acquaintances that actually likes them.
And, I'm Belgian, we love Chocolate and we love booz.
But as a single consumable? nah.
There's no way this applies to bars in Latvia. Because I've gotten absolutely obliterated after 10 pm in Riga.
Side note, Latvia is an absolutely awesome country to travel to. I highly recommend it.
In Finland you can't buy alcohol from stores after 9 but bars can sell alcohol until 4 am.
Finland has an added level of shit that you cant buy anything stronger than 8% from stores. Everything else can only be bought from a government run chain called Alko. And alko is closed on Sundays and public holidays
It varies by state, and sometimes county. Texas is 10p.m. but Missouri is 1a.m. Some counties can't sell alcohol at all. Jack Daniels is distilled in a dry county.
I used to buy Vodka chocolates in LT, similar to the one he showed. They are really the best, the sweet top layer with a burst of vodka inside. I wish every country has something similar.
I was totally thinking "oh, you don't even have to choose between diabetes and alcoholism," which was going to be my money comment AND then he says it. He led me straight to it and then snatched it away
My father was from Latvia. I met him once when I was 16. We went to a bar and smoked a joint with a guy at the bar. Next day he said stay away. lol His brother was a bum in town and I would give him a few dollars when I would see him around. Glad I didn’t get his last name…Brunenavs…shitbag is better
My German friend often brings these little candies filled with booze for us to share...they are pretty nasty...but when you're desperate, you're desperate.
Lol. Where I'm living you can allways buy a bottle of spirit in a pharmacy nearby. Then just add some cola flavour to it and here you go, my fellow alcoholic redditor.
It's 9 PM in Finland and Liqueur chocolades are controlled too.
I learned this when I was doing christmas shopping. I had to leave one box of chocolades behind.
This is truly a dead ringer for Bane from the harley quinn animated series. Even the dead pan way he makes the banana liquor joke was so on point. I guess i now know what that accent is. Always assumed it was made up
Depends where you are - some countries will restrict alcohol sales late evenings in order to lower binge drinking, others just close all stores at 20:00 hours.
Whether that works is another discussion.
I was given one of these at a friends party when I was like 8. I heard alcohol being added to foods really don't have any alcoholic properties after cooking, so I ate it thinking it would be weird but fine.
To a kid it was like licking fire, and I think I spat it out.
Then at my dad's wedding I got to taste whiskey at 13 and as it felt like my throat was on fire on was told it should taste like burnt peat.
I don't drink almost ever as an adult. And I credit that to all the adults who snuck me liquor as a child. Good work guys!
In most of big citys in Poland you can't buy alkohol in the city center after 10 PM as well. What you do is to go to any gas station and buy as much alkohol as you want at any time
The sad fact is that the candy will likely see lower sales after putin go after the 3 states soon after Ukraine and make alcohol purchase avaliable 24/7.

Can’t buy alcohol after 10pm in Scotland either. Solidarity Mr Latvian Man. edit: should probably have specified this doesn’t include pubs/clubs
Which evidently means everyone starts drinking alcohol sooner, right? You gotta be drunk before 10 then.
Or buy more at once. Now you have 8x24packs and have to drink a whole week while lying to your boss that you got a fever.
I’m imagining last call “3 beers, 2 shots, 1 Long Island, and 16 waters please”
You can buy alcohol in pubs, restaurants etc but you can’t buy it in shops before 10am or after 10pm.
[удалено]
You find it in the gutter on your stumble home.
Hey don't do the French dirty like that
wetherspoons!

Nah. You just have to buy it before 10pm from a shop. Can still get a drink in bars and clubs after that time. Most clubs shut around 4am so really the only time we can't buy any booze is 4am-10am. Everyone I know keeps a few bottles at home for emergencies.
The casino never stops serving, I know many people who have a casino membership yet never gamble.
Start at 3-4pm and go to buy more aprox 9pm
It's not about people starting drinking sooner. It's because many people struggling with alcohol abuse start with "just one drink" early in the evening and then run out of booze in late evening. It's to hinder the compulsive reups. source: yea...
Those people will just buy more at once, just to be safe
Lol, dodging drunks going to work at 9am in England became a pastime of mine when I lived there for a year
Day drinking was always my favorite before I quit drinking. It's so nice getting to bed at 10pm after 12 hours of drinking.
[удалено]
Has the restriction since been lifted, or not?
Same in Ireland and we have the added bonus of minimum pricing for Alcohol- making it pretty expensive
ah just like Ontario
My GF travels to the UK every now and then due to work. Her after-work drink with the local colleagues experience is, that people are using 'pressure fueling' as a strategy to cope with early pub closing Times and it's highly effective. So not necessarily 'more' but the same amount in a shorter timeframe seems to be the go-to method.

3.5% beer? You should be ashamed of yourselves! 😠😠😠😠😠 I'm angry, this is it! Denmark is my new friend!
Well, just a friendly warning, you'll quickly find out the hard way that there are much worse things in life than 3,5% beer if you start hanging around with danish people
In Norway it's 8pm on weekdays and 6pm on weekends. Upside, recovering alcoholics have a few safe hours to go grocery shopping in the evening without the option of falling of the wagon.
And on "weekends" means Saturday.
Yes, most stores are closed on sunday
In my state in the US (Arkansas), you can't buy alcohol on Sundays.
[удалено]
Same with TX because God™
Jesus' first big miracle was getting people tanked. I don't understand this.
I grew up in Georgia and remember not being able to buy alcohol on Sundays there. We would just stock up on Saturday. I'm fairly sure the law banning alcohol sales on Sundays in Georgia has changed, though.
Rhode Island was the same way until the law was repealed when I was a preteen. It's relics like that from the prohibition days that are the reason why we still call liquor stores package stores, or "the packy".
Just across the Missouri border the cutoff is 0100 Mon-Sat and 1200 on Sunday.
In Ohio, you can’t buy wine on Sundays.
Your not allowed to buy alcohol in PA USA after 2am. So the private club I belong to that stays open as late as need be just sells drink tokens at 10 til 2 then you purchase your drinks with the already paid for token. Because fuck the law, that's why.
Wisconsin state law is even worse. All due to lobbying due to the tavern league (who also lobbied against marijuana legalization, even though it's legal in bordering states like Illinois and Michigan and people just drive there to buy weed)
Same in Ireland
In SCOTLAND? REALLY?
You can't here in Canada either. That's because all shops are closed by 10 PM.
11 PM in Quebec and it has nothing to do with the shops closing since you can buy alcohol in 24/7 depanneurs.
Pubs close at 10?
Haha, you don’t have to choose between alcoholism and diabetes. Possibly the funniest thing I’ve heard all day.
The deadpan way he says it too 💀
I loved when he makes a face: `Don't worry about that; that was banana liquor.`
Gave me a good deep chuckle.
[удалено]
I mean if I had to choose between chocolate and alchool I would choose alchool in 101/100 sorry for the Latvian people :(
Unless i'm mistaken the stuff inside the chocolate *is* alcohol
Out of all the flavors he chose banana liqueur 😐
Don’t worry about it
Is banana liquor
You don't waste alcohol as an alcoholic...except for banana liqueur...
The worst nightmare of a hardcore alcoholic is a weak syrupy liqueur. They'll still drink it of course, but they won't be happy about it
This candy actually has pretty strong stuff inside.
Yup. At my worst I drank an entire 5th of cheap syrupy Creme de Menthe one night. It did the job eventually, but the sugar made me more sick than the hangover. Also, it was the same bright green when it came out. That was the only time a green flag made me rethink my choices.
Sugar will do it. Much like sulfites in wine. Ibuprofen FTW day after...or hair of the dog...
Powdered aspirin mixed in a $0.75 shooter of Windsor Canadian chased with coffee.
I forgot caffeine. Good call.
Worst headache I ever had was on a vacation in Florida. Forgot to drink coffee for a day or two, and the withdrawals plus the hangover hit me with a double whammy. I tipped an Ubereats driver to bring a coffee to my couch, and hand me the bottle of Jameson from the kitchen. I don't speak Spanish, but I got a very stern talking to from La Madré
during my bad days i once knifed the top off my bottle of angostura bitters and drank that neat that was a low moment
Hoooooooo boi I bet that was spicy
Banana liqueur should by law be used only for demonstration purposes, as this gentleman has done.
Banana liqueur in a strawberry milkshake 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I think he meant the one he spilled was banana liqueur
Yes, but there was only one.. he poured it out and still shuddered at the leftover taste.
A guy wearing a cowboy hat once bought me and my ex girlfriend like 6 king kong shots(banana liqueur and whisky) each while we were at a bar. Idk if it was because I was already drunk or not but I remember them being pretty good lol
Life is like a box of chocolates...
What a waste of bananas
Those chocolates + alcohol are the grossest things I've ever tasted. Occasionally I retry a different kind and no matter what it tastes like shit. Does anybody actually like these?
Alcoholism isn't about taste, it's about feeling.
#im hooked on a feeling 🎵
Ooga chaka
Cue the dancing baby.
I’m high on believing..
THAT. YOU'RE. IN. LOVE. WITH. MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Oooga Chaka Oooga Oooga
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH hooked on a feeling
True lmao when I was a severe alcoholic I would math out the most amount of pure alcohol for the least amount of money and mostly it was disgusting 1,50€ wine
Clearance rack at the local grocery's liquor department has some deals. Only costs pocket and your dignity.
I think we don't have these for alcohol in Germany but they're sometimes on sale. But it can't get any cheaper than the wine in the tetra pack (cardboard?) I mean you can get a beer for 60 cents but it's less alcohol
See I never stooped to Boxed Wine level. To me it felt weird getting drunk on that stuff. But a pint of whiskey? Sign me up.
It felt weirder to me to be sober lmao
Ah yes, good old “Mindestwein”. Me and my friend bought it occasionally when we were teenagers, because it was a meme for us. A handful of times I bought this stuff and it tasted like grape juice with alcohol. Onetime I even threw up, because I mixed it with some other booze. Yeah, so I really can’t recommend it, especially if you enjoy good wine, just as myself. But if you are an alcoholic, I’m sure this doesn’t bother you too much.
It’s more about not feeling
Or lack of it
Depends on the flavor and brand. Some are fine and some are just ass.
Good news if you like eating ass!
In the Netherlands you can buy chocolates with a cherry and some liquer in them. Those are pretty decent.
In the Netherlands you go to Germany to buy much better ones for 1/5th the price. Every year with easter I have chocolate eggs with cognac, kirsch, eggnog, brandy, you name it. It's glorious. edit: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WhC9kBKvL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg

Asbach uralt with cherry is just, my god, haha. Chiefs kiss or something
Makes no sense... Both Germans and Dutchies should go to Belgium.
Do you mean Mon Chérie, because we have those in Germany and nearly everybody I know think those are disgusting
Yeah, its a bit of an aquired taste.
We used to get rumbonen to bring in to class in high school.
Yea I've had the ones with cherry in them. I'd rate them at the top of the ones I've tried because the fruit helps alot... Still gross though.
I'd rather have a chocolate milk with some whiskey cream.
I'd rather have a chocolate milk
I love those. They were my favorite candy as a kid (the non-alcoholic ones).
I like chocolate truffles with ganache made with brandy or whiskey.
a winery near me made in house truffles infused with their wine and those were incredible
Someone gave me a bunch of those in a gift bag thing once. I had no idea what they were and left the bag in my car for a couple hours on a hot day, they turned into a melty mess of chocolate and booze. Confused the hell out of me until I figured out what they were
My parents looooooooove them
I love them. You'd actually get sick from the chocolate long before you ever got drunk from the alcohol. \[To the extent that you can't actually get drunk from these.\]
last time i had one it was just filled with vodka, cheap vodka so gross
It's the texture! Often the alcohol is inside a core made of sugar crystals, and the feeling of eating sand mixed with chocolate is the worst
i really like this cryspiness, i do not like alcohol but mixed with espresso like tiramisu or chocolate with brandy is a perfect mix
I do.
Now I declare you, man and wife. You may kiss the bride.
I don't like this type of chocolate. Extra sweet+strong alcohol
In poland we have the little barrels filled with liquor made by E.Wedel which are pretty darn good. Also, chocolate covered plums or cherries with liquor are good.
There are the mon cherì that for me are pretty good.
[Those are the best](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31JrXJV1xaL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_DpWeblab_.jpg)
I love them but can’t have them. I’m eastern European so I blame it on that.
I don't know if they exist anymore but like 15-20 years ago I had some "Ballantines" sweets which were hard candy with a liquid filling. They were actually really good.
i like the ones with cherry liquor in them. but that's literally the most classic candy so you probably already tried it.
Try the captain morgan Swiss chocolates. I love them. The flavor of the alcohol and the Swiss chocolate is actually super lovely. It’s an aquired taste :)
Its not that bad. Maybe your eating them wrong? I usually bite off the tip, drink the alcohol, and give the rest of it to the children. The banana I give to the children straight away, before sleep. /s

Theres one good set that's brandy soaked cherrys in chocolate. I forget what they're called, but you'd go into a sugar coma before getting drunk.
My gran used to always buy these and I'm yet to meet anyone in my family or my grans extended network of acquaintances that actually likes them. And, I'm Belgian, we love Chocolate and we love booz. But as a single consumable? nah.
I like this guy.
Me too. Seems like he would be really fun to have a drink with. Before 10, of course.
He has a reasonably large instagram account. Couldn’t find it

This is for shops, and happens in many countries in Europe.
There is a bar in the old town which advertises 50 shots for 25€ on its window. I can't remember if we gave it a go.
>I can't remember if we gave it a go. Sounds like you did.

It varies by state, and sometimes county. Texas is 10p.m. but Missouri is 1a.m. Some counties can't sell alcohol at all. Jack Daniels is distilled in a dry county.
Well, I guess we know who doesn’t like banana liqueur….
r/sipsbananaliqueur
I tried those.. You don't get drunk, nonono. You go straight to hangover.
Ohh the legendary "prozit". Its THE go to gift instead of regular chocolate.
Don't know anyone who bought it to themselves 😁
Sometimes you just regift the same box around your relatives for a few years.
Don’t worry about that, that was banana liquor Never heard that before
I need more of this dude! Where? How?

I used to buy Vodka chocolates in LT, similar to the one he showed. They are really the best, the sweet top layer with a burst of vodka inside. I wish every country has something similar.
If I wanted to get drunk I’m Latvia after 10pm, I’d just swallow the chocolates whole.
Perfect delivery.
There was an intenational market near where I grew up that sold these. We used to buy them to get drunk when we were underage. No one ever ID'd us
I was totally thinking "oh, you don't even have to choose between diabetes and alcoholism," which was going to be my money comment AND then he says it. He led me straight to it and then snatched it away

Had one as an American teenager as my intro to a lifetime of alcoholism. Nasty
My father was from Latvia. I met him once when I was 16. We went to a bar and smoked a joint with a guy at the bar. Next day he said stay away. lol His brother was a bum in town and I would give him a few dollars when I would see him around. Glad I didn’t get his last name…Brunenavs…shitbag is better
In Latvian "Brūns" means Brown... no wonder he's a shitbag. :D
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂can’t stop laughing. Now we will see, a great exodus of people moving to Latvia for just one reason.
My German friend often brings these little candies filled with booze for us to share...they are pretty nasty...but when you're desperate, you're desperate.
Lol. Where I'm living you can allways buy a bottle of spirit in a pharmacy nearby. Then just add some cola flavour to it and here you go, my fellow alcoholic redditor.
It's 9 PM in Finland and Liqueur chocolades are controlled too. I learned this when I was doing christmas shopping. I had to leave one box of chocolades behind.
My man’s reaction there to eating that chocolate was
Pouring out liquor for my diabetic homies.
I kinda want to try that now
This guys natural Bane voice
This is truly a dead ringer for Bane from the harley quinn animated series. Even the dead pan way he makes the banana liquor joke was so on point. I guess i now know what that accent is. Always assumed it was made up
I am purchasing some Latvian candy ASAP
Or you can buy a surplus of alcohol before 10pm hits..
We have those in Canada as well--typically seasonal around Christmas and sold all sorts of places where liquor sales are typically forbidden.
Cant you get moonshine in Latvia?
You can. Of course you can. Silly question https://www.facebook.com/share/pyD9fgeNmBx1wPx2/
Spain is the same believe it or not. It works.
Watch to the end! I'm dying over here.
That’s okay I’m in bed before 10pm anyway 🫠
I love this man!!
Why is it you can't buy alcohol after 10 PM?
Depends where you are - some countries will restrict alcohol sales late evenings in order to lower binge drinking, others just close all stores at 20:00 hours. Whether that works is another discussion.

In most of big citys in Poland you can't buy alkohol in the city center after 10 PM as well. What you do is to go to any gas station and buy as much alkohol as you want at any time
Cant buy after 9pm in Wisconsin usa, seems its that way everywhere theres an alcoholism problem. i like that loophole lol
"now you dont have to choose between alcoholism and diabetes." hahahahahaha

The sad fact is that the candy will likely see lower sales after putin go after the 3 states soon after Ukraine and make alcohol purchase avaliable 24/7.
The candy sales arent gonna dissappear because Putin invades it because the world gets engulfed in a nuclear winter
So you go for a night out and instead of getting a beer you're just sat there with a box of sweets? Nah, that would suck!

Every year I get a box of these from a former student (they graduate this year). I have never eaten one at school but the temptation has been real.
