TIL the UK had prohibition. Guess there's religious nuts all over.

Oh no, no prohibition in the UK - the exemption was written during one of Churchill's trips to the US.

Kinda makes sense then. I dunno about "indefinite," but making an exception for some alcohol for a visiting alcoholic would be necessary since going cold turkey can be fatal.
