Here's to drinking on an empty stomach (Globe and Mail)

From The Globe and Mail:

For the first time in almost 80 years, due to recent changes in provincial liquor-control legislation, drinking establishments in Nova Scotia can remain open on Good Friday.

The changes also mean that pubs and restaurants licensed to serve food, like the Old Triangle, are not required to make patrons spend more on grub than they do on hooch. Until this year, downing two pints of Guinness along with an $8 plate of nachos was illegal on Good Friday. You had to eat more.
