Well, they usualy provide wine when there are guests.

But during my mandatory year in the French Navy, we were limited to two beer bottles (8.5 oz each) per day and none if we were on duty.

Here, it is forbidden to sell alcohol and cigarettes to minors (ie: under 18). Most places are closed on Sunday and holidays but nothing religious to it, more like a habit. Not all but many pubs and bars are opened on those days. Depending on their licence, bars and nightclubs can be opened for a long time. I know a few pubs that operate from 6.30 AM to 2.00 AM and some places in and around Paris may be opened 24/7.
