Dating Apps and Netflix Responsible for Fall in 24-hour Alcohol Licences
Posted on March 4, 2019
TELEGRAPH.CO.UK – Mar 4 – Dating apps are partly responsible for a significant decrease in 24-hour alcohol licences, new research has suggested. The number of pubs, bars and nightclubs granted permission to serve alcohol round-the-clock has fallen by a fifth over the past year, according to commercial law firm EMW. (From 919 in 2013 to 742 in 2018). The increasing popularity of Netflix and dating apps has contributed to a "cultural" shift in how people socialise, thereby affecting demand of drinking in late night venues, the research suggests.
