that would also be true here.  it would be inconsitant to do otherwise.

i worked in a late night store and we locked the wine cabinet at night,
off licenses have to go by the same licensing hours as public houses and
resteraunts.

I really must go to the pub, have to do some drinking today or else i will
have an irrational need to drink tomorrow.
