Serge,
Alcohol could be sold only in certain places [1]. Many do expect it, and it is impossible to change on the fly. By the way, any normal person feels a bit painful, for the lack of a better word, during a large social meet & mingle event. But nothing can substitute it. > ... > , even though Brits tend to have more of a beer culture than even Americans. > ... I promised not to bring data into this discussion, so I will not argue it.
