Extended drinking hours on the royal wedding day? Let's drink to that!
The English love to drink. The English love weddings. That’s why the marriage of William and Kate (a.k.a. Catherine) is the social equivalent of the perfect storm.
Not only has April 29th been declared a public holiday in the UK (meaning the tens of thousands of London coppers being paid to control and protect will be making double-time), the British authorities have also announced that pubs can stay open until 1am on April 29th and 30th – giving royal revelers an extra hour to get totally trolleyed! (Note: In the UK you can add the suffix “ed” to any noun in order to connote getting very drunk.)
