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?

A range of alcoholic drinks

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

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

Are there any Hollywood celebrities who never divorced? Why does it seem like celebrities are likely to get divorced frequently?

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

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?

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

Why do people always talk about Ohio as it's a dangerous city?

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

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

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

How long would you let a homeless friend stay at your house?

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

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

But now:

An Invisible Force Has Been Eating Away at Mars for Centuries… and NASA Finally Caught It - The Daily Galaxy

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.
