This morning, via my local city government (Wiesbaden), they put the word out....starting at 7 PM on Thursday (New Years Eve) and running to 6 AM the next day (Friday, 1st of January)....NO BOOZE sales.
Nowhere....not even at city gas stations or grocery outlets.
Also, NO public consumption on any street or in any park.
Covid ban? Yes. Part of the ban rules, so if you break the rule....it's a hefty fine involved.
Basically, you buy your booze early, and sip it quietly in your house or apartment....or you sneak off into the woods with your dozen buddies.
The general feeling of this holiday season? I'd say December kinda went at the 20-percent point of feeling like Christmas, and the Silvester celebration business (without the fireworks)....is kinda running the same way.
But somewhere at the end of this mess with Covid-19....there's probably going to be some national fake holiday invented where folks drink excessively and hang out in dozens of functions around the region. It'd run like Oktoberfest but be called Coronafest.
