Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

Back in the day (early 20th century and before) the English pub offered things you couldn’t get in a working-class home:

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

Scientists Stunned as Rare Phenomenon Emerges from Arctic’s Icy Depths - Indian Defence Review

You can get takeaway or even cook yourself a wider range of food of good quality

You can get a wider range of quality drinks at lower prices from a supermarket

Comfortable seating in a warm, cozy environment, or a nice pub garden

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

In the mid to late 20th century they added food, without the inconvenience of cooking it or washing up.

They need to offer either food of a quality you can’t get at home (true gastro-pub experience) or alternative entertainments - live music, poker nights, sports viewing etc.

But now:

People's mental health often improves after weight-loss surgery. A study pinpoints the real reason why. - Live Science

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

A range of alcoholic drinks

The pubs with the best chance of survival long-term recognize that they can’t just get away with the same 3 beers, ropey wine and pub-grub. Why pay more for something worse than you can get at home for less?

Why do wokes use words like "homophobes" when they don't know what that means? Do they realize that no one is afraid of them?

You have to understand what the attraction of the English pub was in the first place.
