If the government banned alcohol so pubs could only offer soft drinks and 0% beers would people still go? Many say its the social side of it that they enjoy so presumably a pub would still be a good place to meet friends. Particularly in the NE as according to this place blokes don't meet up with their mates unless the pub is involved.
