Why are alcoholic drinks always banned when these characters know nothing else?

No problem. You can always order from the delivery guys. That call stocking up, and do not fall under the same rules as personal use. Even if it is. I order beer by the pallet and all other by the box.

You have a fork lift...?     ????

Why would I sleep at the 7/11 ?

 

I have my local mom and pop booze wholesaler on speed dial.... Made a call last week for them to load up and deliver as I had a feeling a ban was coming.... owner of shop expects to be told this week not to open.

Just in case the ban comes effective all over the country, did someone already try diluting the alcohol based hand sanitizers ?

Don’t know...There are a little problem in my fridge.

Some might look awfully silly if it turns out in time that the alcohol in beer actually helps fight the virus.

When I cook I'll enjoy a drink as I've never really enjoyed cooking but like the end product.....

As much as my head is less tolerant of alcohol I honestly don't trust people that don't drink unless they're quite old, infirm or alcoholic. People that are not alcoholic but suck on cigarettes but don't drink. That's a weird one.

It is weird indeed, I, as many are, am fully aware of the dangers of smoking, the smell it

leaves on your clothes and skin and the generally antisocial aspects of the addiction.

 

However I have found it really difficult to quit, I did so for a year once then got back on

them more than before.

 

But if a doctor told me to give up the beer, I could do so easily, I sometimes go weeks

without alcohol, not intentionally but if I'm honest I prefer a cup of tea.

 

I'm not a puritanical anti booze crusader, far from it, but I do find it odd that people

will go out bulk buying the stuff, although when people were going crazy buying up

all the big roll, I did out and  buy shed loads of tea bags!

 

 

Well, after careering off topic, I was torn between, I don't care and I don't like it but 

I will survive.

It's the personal freedom issue here that's the most important thing. It's as idiotic as Islamic states bans on alcohol and pork.. Just encourages underground criminality. The bans are popular with religious Conservative middle classes as a law and order or control the wayward youth theme, but in practice cause more problems than the ones they didn't solve in the first place.

covid-19 or liver cirrhosis.... it's a tough choice.

I heard, there will be new rules for selling alcohol; alcohol can only be sold between 11:00 and 11:10 am, 12:10 and 12:33 pm, 15:12 and 15:23, 17:13 and 17:33, 18:16 and 19:00, 23:00 and 23:15.

I dont really care what BKK says either.

Never been a big drinker,so couldnt care less

Forgot the "I'm in denial" check box !

No problem (yet) here in Siem Reap (Cambodia). Yes, like Thailand we are "locked in" but being quieter with no tourists, we can still take a relaxed stroll to one of the many local bars and restaurants that are still open to enjoy a beer or two, also a meal. Shops and supermarkets are also open and all stocked up. There are public health measures in place and medical advice given, including wearing face masks, but our life in retirement is still very enjoyable. For how long - who knows, we enjoy while we can. I am glad I left LOS two months ago.

Is that the guy always drinking wine on his show?

Why don't they ban cigarettes, surely that is more relevant to lung related disease.

 

Being retired here look forward  to a couple of cold Chang beers in the evening 

Can imagine a tourist here would feel having no drink available besides  cant travel anywhere a bigger inconvenience

I only drink one day in four, but with fewer things to do to pass the time, and the increasing heat.... you can't beat a cold beer!

It's the gangs of Somchai's and Nong's who gather to eat & drink together that needs to be reduced or stopped... but banning alcohol penalises many others.

They can tell the difference between a foreigner and a local at the ticket office of national parks, so how about only letting foreigners but booze if they want to ban their locals! (election days are a good example) 

What's a Nong?

This is exactly that kind of 'superior' farang non-sense I read in/out for years, which makes my blood boil.

 

There is a nice, very very empty place, maybe 1 or 2 couples sitting on tables far away from each other .... you can sit down and still a little bit get on with life.

 

Yesterday, I was shocked (but not surprised) to see 6 fat old, super smart, educated, loaded with Western common sense, not as stupid as Somchai and Nong, ... Farangs .... sitting around a small table with 10 bottles of Leo's, most likely talking <deleted> about the Thais and how stupid they are.

 

As soon as Farangs find a place which is open, they make it their watering hole! They just can't stop or control themselves.

 

Please, stop this superior Farang over Thai thing ... can't hear it anymore. Far too many idiot Farangs in Thailand to hold up this argument.

 

Somchai and Nong, what an idiotic comment to say about ppl you have chosen to live with, as a choice of alternative country to live in.

“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging and whosoever is there deceived is not wise”. Read that somewhere but as I am not deceived, it does not apply. Somewhere else, I seem to remember, “take a little wine for your stomach”.

Didn't old JC alledgedly turn a load of water into vino at some wedding in Galilee.

I wonder what Mr Robert Marley, rastafarian, would have said about this dilemma.

It's easier for the regime to just ban alcohol for everyone than expect the police to do any actual work and move people on who are loitering.

Haven’t you been told ... it was non-alcohol wine. So, I have been told in the American “Bible Belt”. 555
