Tchooptip Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 LOL, anyway half the adults around the world are alcoholics, when I go to the beach in the morning 10 am half the men are already drinking beer, so they are free, but impossible with this habit of daily booze to keep one's whole mind and especially one's health ounce one get older. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishrogue Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I wonder how much tax/revenue will be put into the government or the importers coffers after all of the alcohol purchased due to this totally unnecessary ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not more than your ego, though. ???? No, I am not in the kitchen at parties, even if I am a well educated chef with long experience in the entertainment business. However, I know when it´s time to party and when it´s adviced not to party. Probably something that you still have to learn.

Burma Bill Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 It just goes to show Thailand's dependency on alcohol - much illegal, and will still be in continued supply during the ban, like the Prohibition Days in the USA! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this behaviour as the cowards way out, but that´s only my opinion. you fail to realize many are physiologically dependant on alcohol. thai society has a high percent like this. also emotionally dependant. using the term "clear mind" regarding those physically dependant on alcohol is just funny. to them alcohol is the center of the universe and the reason for life itself. 4 me personally, if i bring some nice spicy thai food home to eat i would like to have the option to buy a cold beer to drink with it at 7 / 11. i also find beer assists in tolerating these forums 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superal Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Its all about stopping SongKran and banning alcohol sales will cut out the mass social gatherings in the provinces that are operating the ban . Will lessen the burden for the police however there is not a ban on drinking alcohol , only buying or selling . I would think that the law makers and those in the know would not have taken advantage of the imminent ban . So now no buying alcohol , no bars , no restaurants , no outdoor sports , no sport on TV , no ladies of the night , no flights out of here at affordable prices , no travel out of your province , etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the commodity,if you announce you are creating an artificial shortage it will predictably create a panic buy situation. Your feelings of 'unfathomable' should be directed at officials who once again do not have the foresight or IQ to understand this.

krthai8888 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Marketing Success, the best way to jump start sales is to create a large volume of single day sales through hoarding is to notify there is a ban coming. It works for toilet paper, paper towels and various other items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I do not make it out to look like that. All people that madly run and panic buy the booze already done that job for me. Same as all on this forum that complains so much over an absolutely non essential thing in life like alcohol. That bunch of people make it look like the scenario you just described. Yas, I drink. Sometimes a lot and sometimes small as well as sometimes nothing. Depends of the mood of the day, but ain´t gonna complain just because it´s not going to be available for a while. I am a big boy, I can handle going without for a month or two without complaining like children that lost their favorite nighty bottle. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
