Finding beer and alcohol in Jaffna.

While Jaffna is deeply conservative and you will not find lively beach bars buying alcohol is not difficult. There are numerous licensed wine stores scattered around the city center where you can easily purchase cold Lion beer arrack and spirits. You simply buy what you need and take it back to consume privately at your guesthouse. Major hotels like Jetwing also have fully stocked bars for their guests. Public drinking on the street or near temples is absolutely strictly forbidden and highly offensive.
