"Then they banned restaurants and bars from serving alcohol after 10 pm"
Oh dear, wherever did the writer get this bit of nonsense from? I've been to many bars and restaurants that served alcohol way into the night, at 10pm, at 11pm, at 12pm and all the way into the early morning. Quite a peculiar thing to say.
No, what the writer is getting confused about is the law banning "retail" sales of alcohol after 10pm. But since the vast majority of shops and supermarkets in Turkey close anyway at 10pm, that isn't the major hindrance to getting a drink as the author would like his readers to imagine it to be.
