Really??? I'm not going to school that night (Or any other for that matter), so I do believe it will be ok if I have a beer.

It's an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to honour the willingness of the prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his young first-born son Ismail (Ishmael)a as an act of submission to God's command and his son's acceptance to being sacrificed, before God intervened to provide Abraham with a Lamb to sacrifice instead.

'School night' as in the next day is a working day - not everyone gets all these public holidays off, many, many people are still working.

While I find it about absurd the way people seem to have emotional meltdowns anytime there is a dry night here, this is a pointless. Who cares if some people have to work, if the person that wants to go out, or get blasted at home does not have work the next day it is not a school night. The days are holidays, yes some people work on holidays, oh well that is life don't whine. If you don't like it, get another job

The purpose of the thread was for INFORMATION purposes. No need for jumping up and down and getting your oversized y-fronts in a wad.

Name is just a name...I have met lots of "Mohamed" guessing you must have the same experience like that.
And I am not an Islamic member either. Sorry to disappoint you.
