Until further notice is just ridiculous. I hope there are riots

I get it, some of you need your alcohol, but let's be logical about this. The only items that are able to be purchased in supermarkets right now are the essential items. For example, the malls in Pattaya have closed down completely. All that remains open now are the supermarkets and restaurants, strictly for takeaways. I was at Central yesterday and the restaurants had booths for ordering take away food on the ground level. All other levels were shut.

 

Alcohol is not an essential item, so if sale of all other non-essential items has been discontinued, why should alcohol be an exception? Alcohol, being a drug that affects behaviour, should be considered the least essential non-essential item of all.

Meanwhile more die in a single bus crash on an almost daily basis, than have ALLEGEDLY died in the last 3 months from Chinese flu

Something ain't right

About 40 die per day in Thailand (pre covid-19) from road accidents.

 

We're discussing the sale of alcohol in the context that the sale of all other non-essential items has been banned. Why should alcohol sales continue?

More like 80-100 once you include all that die in hospital 

 

I can make a comparison to show the absurdity of all this if I want to

Alcohol is an essential item, just like bread and water

Good grief to you too:

 

I asked you a logical question, yet you continue to laugh at everything.

 

I asked you why should the sale of alcohol continue when the sale of all other non-essential items has been banned?

 

For example, my wife wanted to buy some skin care products yesterday from Face Shop, but the store was closed, but she is not in an uproar over it.

 

Perhaps I should ask the question in a way that you may understand:

 

Why is alcohol essential? Give me one good reason why it should be sold? Don't repeat your last stupid answer about the risk of people losing money because they can't sell it, because all shops have closed.

You were talking about road accidents. Deaths due to all causes is just over 1 per minute in Thailand. That's around 1500 per day.

Does it not lower the risk of impromptu group gatherings? How about fewer drunk people about flouting the curfew, the need for social distancing and mask wearing?

Maybe it's necessary in Thailand.

But of all the Covid news from Europe and USA I can't remember any alcohol ban?

Alcohol is essential because like beauty products it also makes our wives look beautifull and at half the price.

80-100 die as a result of an rta.

The 40 you suggested only relates to deaths at the scene of the accident

Once you add in people who die in the ambulance or in hospital its about 30k per year

 I have no idea where in the world it is banned or not.

 

I gave some reasons why it may help because people on here think the idea to ban it is senseless. I'm still trying to hear a good reason why it shouldn't be banned when all other non-essential items have been banned.

 

Have they banned the sale of everything non-essential in Europe or USA?

A friend of mine who is a big wine seller says sales have never been better back in the homeland.  Alcohol and cannabis products are deemed "essential".  Some countries are a bit more civilized about letting their citizens bide their time with such things to help relieve stress and anxiety.
