You’re not allowed to get drunk in English pubs: We’re starting the Culture section of this list of facts about England with this surprising by-law: It is illegal to be drunk in a pub. The Licensing Act took effect in 1872 and essentially bans anyone in England from being drunk anywhere that isn’t their private property. It’s certainly an odd by-law to have in place when the country hosts more than 35,000 pubs, all of which have the main purpose of drinking.
