Popular Post malt25 Posted March 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2020 Afternoon all. Mate's wife shopping in Tops today was told by a staff member that all alcohol sales will be banned for 30 days from April 1st. First thing I thought of was the good ol April fools day. But don't think rural Thais are into it. Anyone else hear any rumors ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assurancetourix Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I just asked my wife and my stepson; they haven't seen anything like it on Fastbook and his sister in law Line; yet they spend a large part of their life on these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Booze also lowers your immune system. Alcohol affects the way health gut microbes interact with the immune system. Alcohol also disrupts the gut barrier, allowing more bacteria to pass into the blood. ... Excessive drinking reduces the number and function of three important kinds of cells in your immune system–macrophages, T and C cells.Dec 3, 2018 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think your doing said the wife. I said its on offer £10 for 24 cans. Put them back we can't afford it she said.
