Mental Floss "World Food and Drink Etiquette "

Signed; Just the Messenger

:::Blink, blink:::

New Zealand - it is acceptable OK to host a BBQ without providing all of the food and drink. Pretty sure that’s acceptable in other countries.

Bolivia - married women can only have 1 glass of wine at a bar. Glad I’m single, then. :wink:

And saving the best for last: United Kingdom - it’s illegal to be drunk in a pub. Ummm… Yeah, just ummm…

Apparently a “rather unknown law - Section 12 of the Licensing Act 1872 - makes it illegal to be found drunk in a public house or area, facing a £200 fine.”

Under “Breaking the data down by continent”

What — you’ve never seen the signs in US bars: “We cannot serve you alcohol if you seem visibly intoxicated?”

Intoxicated! From drinking! IN A BAR!! IMAGINE THAT! :rofl: :flushed: :roll_eyes:

I’m going to assume the multitudes of British men and women have been telling the Licensing Act of 1872 to bugger off for years and years. :wink:
