I think the patriotic thing to do would be to visit some more licenced
premises before I reach a conclusion.  However, I think that given the
differences abound in different regions, Steve's suggestion of a binary
yes/no for both licenced and byo would be the best option unless any
further complications arise (eg, BYO beer or wine).  Steves suggested:

licenced=yes/no
byo=yes/no

The only issue I would have, is with the spelling of licence.  Steve
suggested licensed but as OSM is traditionally British English, shouldnt
licenced=yes/no be used?

taginfo shows licenced=yes has 2 usages where licensed=yes has 9, so its
early enough to still rectify the discrepencies.
