All businesses have licenses.

You ****in' Americans. What do you call them? Liquor stores I guess.
Yes, because that is what they sell.

But with alcohol, only pubs can sell it, unless you run an off-licence, in which case you're licensed to .... ah, why am I bothering? You're getting so like Frownland it's concerning me. You're just not listening.

I suspect Russian involvement.

Why not just liquor store though? That's already differentiated from the pub. Unless...do you guys call restaurants food stores in Ireland?

Seriously? First of all, we don't use the word "liquor". It's "spirits" for anything like vodka, gin, whiskey etc. We do use "liqueur", but that's another thing. Also, we don't use store, but shop. So it would be a spirit shop, which might just sound, hmmm, weird. I reckon it's also to do with licencing laws, so that you can sell beer after hours or before the pubs open. Hell if I know: I don't really drink. But there are off-licences all over here and I assume UK too.

Point of fact, restaurants we call restaurants, smaller ones cafes, the Brits sometimes call them "caffs" (you probably say diner) and then there are the Italian Bistros, which, oddly, we call bistros.

There are all kinds of licenses in America, so off-license sounds weird to us. Just call it a Local Alcohol Distribution Center like a normal person.

So what do you call pubs and why do you need to distinguish them from stores?

Yes Trolls we have them.

I call them off licenses too.

Some call them offies, for short.

The Sikhs usually run them here and they are great guys, well most of them are one of them was an old cunt but he's sold up now. Over the past few years, the Sikhs have been selling food in the shop too. It's usually snack food like pakoras, samosas and that sort of thing, they make it in the shop. I like it a lot and think it was about time.

You drink, eat, play music, watch the sport, play pool or darts in them. They're a 'public house'.

You can't do any of that in an off license other than purchase items then leave.

Exactly, quite different places that you wouldn't get mixed up unless you hella misspoke, so why differentiate based on licensing? Or like I asked earlier, are there so many unlicensed places that you guys had to start making the licensing part of the nomenclature?
