A very old law means a very sober island. At least until Happy Hour, which seems reasonable. The Virgin Islands marks Good Friday by prohibiting alcohol sales at bars and restaurants from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The law doesn’t apply to retail stores, so if you’ve got bugs crawling all over you and you can’t get past the shakes, pick up a pint at Starfish and sit in the parking lot.

I can see it now…
Sunburned people; wandering the town in a zombie-like trance starting at about 2:00.
At 4:00, a mad rush (think Pamplona) starts towards every bar in town.

No liquor sales on “Good Sober Friday” – However, on Election Day there are make shift bars set up across from the polls giving away free drinks, courtesy of the candidates!
I just love it all…
