I walked into a liquor store without a mask. The guy comes out from the back room and says "you got a mask?" in a demanding way. I say "you want my business, or not?", and he says "yeah..." in a defeated sounding tone. I get some whiskey and say thanks, and that was it.

Small businesses should be ignoring this nonsense, but maybe he watches a little too much TV.

Am I the only one who sees the irony that the liquor store has contributed to more deaths than the china flu? But liquor is heavily taxed, so no problem here.

"essential"

shit - to addicts maybe

They did shut liquor stores down in India - very briefly - then opened them right up as people got the DTs.

I am anti-prohibition on everything on principal, but fuck a bunch of alcohol - horrible insidious drug that does untold damage.

Alcohol detox is more life threatening than heroin detox. Fun fact that isn’t mentioned much.

Much more life threatening. Heroin withdrawl rarely kills. Alcohol withdrawl absolutely can kill.
