Jesus drank.
(Kristinians 1:1)

Australia takes its Easter holiday seriously. Not content merely to give folks an extra long Good Friday lunch hour to get their foreheads dirty and offer discount ham at the groceries, the ENTIRE CITY OF ADELAIDE (and surrounding beachside towns) completely shuts down from close of business Shrove Thursday until the open of business “no longer part of the Easter holiday” Tuesday. Easters Saturday and Monday are part of the holiday. The stores, the markets, the gas stations, even the restaurants. All closed. We were advised to stock up on anything we might need for the holiday Thursday night. Naturally we all ran to the bottle shop.
