Need a drink to help you through the COVID-19 crisis?

NYS ruled that liquor stores are an essential business and won't have to close
Cheers

We have closed all state stores that supply alcohol here in PA. There was no consideration for alcoholism and an alcoholic who without alcohol could go through a non medical detox and possibly die. Beer and wine don’t have the alcohol “hit” the the hard stuff has.

NY is avoiding the mistake PA has made.

Vodka makes a great hand/surface sanitizer when the supermarkets are cleaned out of everything including rubbing alcohol.

And it's approved for use internally Lol


Actuality, most Vodka is to low an alcohol content to be used as a sanitizer so use caution there

Well I'm not using 151 virgin dark rum on the door handles...

190 proof Everclear might do the trick...

Ever seen how far an alcoholic will go to get a drink? Close them down and you'll have people "re-opening" themselves.
