If there is an alcohol ban, do you care?

[OneMoreFarang]

Alcohol is already banned in some provinces at some times. Do you care?

 

[CharlieH]

Not in the slightest, never touch the stuff ! ????

 

BUT it does effect me, how? because of all those apparently dependent on it and post their panic on here for me to sort out ! ????????

[JaiMaai]

Actually, while I may not often want a drink and really don't drink a lot anymore — there's something about being told I can't that makes me want one.

[Don Mega]

Not in the slightest, I've enough on hand to keep me drunk for 2 to 3 months.

[WineOh]

My cupboards are full of the stuff.
 

But yes, living in a nanny state does bother me. I’m an adult, I should be able to freely buy a beer whenever I so desire.

I don't have a problem going without Alcohol.

 

I have a problem with Puritanical, Authoritarian, Hypocritical Governments using the COVID19 outbreak as an excuse to tell the population what they can and cannot do.

[Stocky]

I don't have a problem I'll buy a slab of beer just in case.

 

But I bet ThaiBev and the Boon Rawd Brewery will be less than happy, the closure of bars and restaurants is a big enough blow without their being a curb on retail sales too.

You can want one, you just can't buy it. ????

Seems like a good idea to have a somewhat good immune defense these days if corona comes knocking on the doors.

So would just stock up a little and not go overboard and consume a whole lot.

 

This Covid 19 messes with our lives in so many different ways.

Will be a rough year for sure.

And what does it say in the Koran please? Seriously.

Yo to those who like a good beer buzz early in the morning,

And Billy likes to peel the labels from his bottles of bud!

Not Me. I'm back in Germany with my Thai wife where I can get as much beer as I want delivered to my home costing 10 THB for 500ml (a pint). 

 

Next will come the food shortages then the healthcare collapse. If you are still there make sure you are well prepared for the next phases. If you do drink, stock up before the booze is gone.

I do care.

I only drink one day in four, but with fewer things to do to pass the time, and the increasing heat.... you can't beat a cold beer!

It's the gangs of Somchai's and Nong's who gather to eat & drink together that needs to be reduced or stopped... but banning alcohol penalises many others.

They can tell the difference between a foreigner and a local at the ticket office of national parks, so how about only letting foreigners but booze if they want to ban their locals! (election days are a good example) 

[Crossy]

I like an after work beer or ten, but I didn't die when working in dry areas of India.

 

I did vote "I will buy a lot before the ban", maybe need to go shopping again later.

[baansgr]

I'm more worried about the rice cooker ban....easier to find loo roll than a shop that is allowed to sell a rice cooker

[thaiflyer1]

[lust]

Oh no, DADS root beer has been banned?!

[mike787]

My vice is not alcohol it's not enough cash.  Cash is KING...when u have that, nothing else matters....

One bottle of Hong Thong?

[pgrahmm]

I've been cooking more & from scratch.....It's giving me something different to do, the girls like it & my wife likes not cooking.....

When I cook I'll enjoy a drink as I've never really enjoyed cooking but like the end product.....

[Lacessit]

I don't care. I'd care if pussy became unavailable.

[ChipButty]

The wife just tell me last night loads of people outside a 7/11 near home sitting there drinking, That has to stop I think

If your cat ran away you would have too many mice?

We got caught out compared with many. We only got to hear about at around 5 pm last night. And the shutters came down at midnight!

 

And as we don't have a car we could only grab a little. No matter though as I don't drink much nowadays,

 

but there's one thing I want to have in reserve. A bottle of whisky just in case the dreaded lurgy does reach the ML domain. A hot toddy is  my reach for drink on the rare occasions that I do catch a virus.
