Nah, no need to break for ale. Just keep it with you, mate.

Oh no, it's quite civilized. A "day" starts at 11AM. They play 3 2-hour sessions.

11AM - 1PM Session
1PM - 1:40PM Lunch
1:40PM - 3:40PM Session
3:40PM - 4PM Tea
4PM - 6PM Session

There are informal drinks breaks during the sessions, too. And the fans can drink all day if they want.

Went to one session while vacationing in New Zealand once. I arrived after lunch, but don't remember seeing the tea break. Guess there was too much ale flowing in the grassy knoll part of the stadium!
