Why are the shops not being made to close at 22:00? When the pub shuts, surely everyone will pile into shops to buy alcohol and party at home?
It depends in which country they live!!
In England, there would be nothing to stop groups of up to six people leaving pubs and restaurants after they shut, buying drinks and then taking them home.
People in extended households in Wales could also go back home to carry on drinking after the curfew, but they would not be able to buy more drinks as sales of alcohol from off-licences and supermarkets after 22.00pm will also be stopped.
However, in Scotland and Northern Ireland people would need to go home separately, as social visits to other people’s homes are currently banned.
