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.

Churchill was kinda a degenerate

I believe there are stories buried on the Internets about Churchill and yards of ale. I could be mistaken.
