Drinking alcohol can increase the risk of catching Covid-19 and governments around the world should limit access during coronavirus lockdowns, the World Health Organization said late Tuesday. The WHO said alcohol consumption is associated with a number of communicable and noncommunicable diseases that can make a person more vulnerable to catching Covid-19. "Therefore, people should minimize their alcohol consumption at any time, and particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic," the office said. www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/04/15/drinking-alcohol-can-make-the-coronavirus-worse-the-who-says-in-recommending-restricting-access.html STOP DRINKING! ???????????? Alcohol compromises the body's immune system and increases the risk of adverse health outcomes No doubt a lot of truth in this however, 2 examples of countries where alcohol has not been banned and they have some of the best numbers (per capita) for low amount of Infections, high amount of recovery and steeply declining new cases are Australia and New Zealand. So, what may seem like logic and what may be scientific fact, is not always the answer. They are not experiencing out of control groups drinking in public or any other large gatherings for that matter. Most people are happy enough to be able to get out shopping, buy groceries and something to drink at home. For those self righteous morals and social behaviour police posting in this thread, calling alcoholics pathetic and telling everyone to take this opportunity to give up the evil drink, go and find somewhere else to preach your puritan waffle. I'm off to try mixing up some of Brit Mans home made baileys!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are way more people mingling at the local markets, using the same inane logic they should close the markets.. How about all the people queuing up at food banks, social distancing not enforced. A good example was the photo of people lining up all around the moat in Chiang Mai. If the CV19 death toll numbers are to believed, it's sheer madness some of the restrictions currently in place... Actually, the people lining up around the moat have been distancing very well, I see them every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moo 2 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 This is an insult to my religion, Jesus said "drink this (wine) it is my blood". I have been a good Follower so far, don't force me to sin, amen. "Wine can make you fat, what will it be, red or white?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a carry on Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I was counting down the days and then this ???? Like telling little Timmy it's 10 days until Christmas and after ten days, telling him to wait 10 more. And maybe more after that. Boozemass is cancelled, sorry kids. Although it seemed to be alive and well in a condo on my floor last night, considering the racket they were making. And why do Thais insist on leaving their apartment or condo doors open when laughing and shouting loudly until 3.a.m.? Thanks for that. Next time I'll call security, especially if they don't let me know where they're getting their booze...just out of curiosity, of course ????

SteezyP Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Would of those saying it's easy to find alcohol during the ban mind giving me a clue where to start looking? I'm a Brit staying here longer than planned in Chiang Mai. Knowing nobody here, a couple of beers a night is keeping me sane! I had stocked up but now the ban has been extended it isn't gong to last.
