b) they're seen more as a place to gather and shoot the breeze, as Monkey says, rather than a place you go to buy something. In most stores, or shops, you go in, buy what you want and head off. You don't hang around. That's the difference. In a pub, you do. You stay, with your purchases. You in fact have to, as they're not licenced, as I said, to sell alcohol that can be taken off the premises.
Does this imply that you don't need a license to serve alcohol so long as it's kept on site?

Also, like I said earlier, why do you need to differentiate them like that? They're very clearly different in the same way that a petting zoo and a pet supply store are.
