Flouting social distancing in pubs

Friend of a friend posted a photo on Facebook of 5 of them together. Just like a pre-covid group photo, no social distancing whatsoever, at first I thought they must have edited it to make them appear close but it must definitely hadn’t been.
These people aren’t stupid, so why are they acting so stupidly?
And no-one seems to be calling them out on this.
I despair, I really really despair.

Are pubs reluctant to enforce distancing for fear of upsetting customers? Do they not see that they’re very likely to end up closing again if this sort of behaviour continues, or are they probably just as blasé about the risk that’s still out there?

As soon as alcohol is involved I think the vast majority will forget after a few..
