The late Bob Asprin, a popular SF/fantasy writer, lived in NOLA, and was there during Hurricane Katrina and blogging about it. Apparently, the bar across the street from him managed to get supplies and stay open throughout.
An old friend in Britain is annoyed. British pubs close at 11pm, I believe. This was apparently intended to try to
reduce alcohol consumption. But in practice, people consume the same total
amount they would consume if the bars were open later, but do it in a much shorter time frame, with predictable results. She's not pleased.
In NYC, bars close at 4am, though there were private "after hours" clubs the last I knew open later.
