    Like socks. I’m sure you can buy socks now but you must be under 60 and have your temp taken when entering the store.Also you must show your spanking new Easy Access Pass EAP. It’s getting better now.

    Yes, I think a line has been crossed. I do not know the law here very well but I suspect that suspension of civil rights during an emergency must have a defined expiration date. But I think a lot of locals (voters) are enthusiastically behind this. Different culture, no bill of rights to get in the way etc.

    Clear evidence as to how little forethought was put into composing these things.

    One possible explanation I heard is that the government doesn’t want people to spend the (tiny) amelioration amounts on booze rather than food. Too much work to make and disperse vouchers for essentials, so just ban alcohol sales until... when we say so. Sounds like a believable blend of broken logic and laziness.

    I agree. Whiskey should not taste like sweetened cough medicine.

    I hear where you're coming from. When I discovered that the supermarket wasn't selling liquor today, the first thing I said was "Jesus Christ!"

    It's the opposite for me. I have not believed in the invisible sky-daddy since becoming a follower of being a drunkard. But when I was talking to myself as a young man, I would have been very upset if the government took away my hallucinations. So I understand where you current dogmatics are coming from, but I know for me and of other true booze lovers that no one can take away our love of getting hammered. Burp, belch & and kickback! Cheers. and bottoms up!!

    When I bought 5 cases of tequila, jack daniels, seagrams, and black label approx. 1 month ago ............ the packer went to ask the Manager if I could purchase that, The Manager came and asked me what I was going to do with it all. I replied that one bottle is for me and the rest is to bath my dogs. Now that GCQ is on the packer walked by my home yesterday and asked how are my dogs doing. As I don't own any dogs I just replied that they died of alcohol poisoning. The look on his face was priceless.
