Yep! I used to live in Ireland and pubs being closed on Good Friday was like the end of the world.
Not just pubs; it was also off-licenses. The Thursday before at my local supermarket was always like the apocalypse, with people panic-buying booze.
There were some weird exceptions to the rule, too; in particular you could buy alcohol on trains.
