They also used to have restricted hours....Close during each afternoon......opening again at tea time until 10:30 pm.....people still managed to get bladdered......and the landlord got to spend some time for himself.
And if you went to Wales the pubs were closed all day on a Sunday.....totally dry(well, unless you were welsh......then you were let in by the back door).
I remember going to Wales with my gran in the late sixties.....she liked a drop of beer. She was totally disgusted that she couldn't get a beer because the pubs were shut ......especially as she had walked something like three miles from the cottage to the village. She was as dry as an old maids kiss when she got back.
