If pubs and restaurants shut, how will it change society?

What if pubs close in their drives? It could happen. In Bolton in England a total lockdown on pubs has been in place for 2 weeks. That could well be the first town in Britain to basically have no nightlife revolving around alcohol anymore. I wonder what will happen.

Will people go onto illegal drugs more there? Will it become a more sober place? More religious? More spiritual? Will it help or hinder Autistic people?

Personally, I'm not attached to pubs and bars. Nor restaurants all that much. It's probably my Autistic perspective, my particular perspective as well actually, but I've always been and felt excluded in them. I was kicked out of many bars for trivial reasons. I always found them to be cliquish places with overzealous security and lots of men looking for fights.

Restaurants. I just think in this country they're overpriced pretentious rubbish anyway. In places like India and China they have interesting, good street food at reasonable prices that doesn't have all the pretension and phoney status attached to it. Maybe if all those ones go bust in this country we might see more of that kind of thing here. After all, if any establishments are going to survive these restrictions better it will be the takeaways like the old fish and chippies.

  • I think Restaurants and Pubs should be open for nourishment only while this pandemic is still on.  Maybe they should be allowed to serve one unit with a meal perhaps alcohol should be banned completely.   I thought it was wrong not to allow restaurants not to serve food at all earlier on in this pandemic.  Some people cannot cook for themselves and would have nowhere to eat.  Eating outside will be more difficult when it gets cold.  People should just go into the restaurant or pub and have their meal and leave quickly that would reduce the spread of the Virus. Perhaps have a time limit per meal.   I am not sure that we would need a 10 PM curfew if alcohol was not served at all in restaurants or strictly rationed.  Supermarkets should only be allowed to sell alcohol to be drunk at home and in the evenings not be allowed to sell it.  Long term affects people will eat at home more even when this pandemic is over and some restaurants and pubs will close permanently.
