Since I ignore unreasonable bans, I drink now daily and much more than usual to express my kind of protest against this ban. If the alcohol ban is lifted again, I will return to normality and will limit my couple of  beers  to 2 - 3 times a week.

Fake Bailey's ........

1 teaspoon red cup coffee, 2 teaspoons Milo 3 in 1, fill to 1/2 cup with hot water.

Add 3 teaspoons sweetened condensed milk and 80ml Hong Thong rum (or or SangSom or whiskey), throw in blender with ice, whizz until smooth.

 

Serve over ice, best drunk quickly while it's still smooth and frothy (usually not a problem).

And a dash of Vanilla Essence

Bunch of BS. Now CM has fallen to its Governor's idiocy. Why don't they just change the official religion to Islam and make everyone convert to be Muslim. Disgusting, but I do at least have a reserve I can milk out to the 30th. Next to follow will be the banning of even drinking alcohol like Nakhon Pathom did. One word and one action comes to mind for the governors. Authoritarian and upping the ante for ego face value.

 

If the CM Governor is so spry and decisive in his alcohol-ban actions re. Covid-19, I don't understand why he hasn't introduced a ban on the sale of the "fruits" of the rampant Burning-Season in CM. --- I suggest that the Burning-Season in CM has health-implications which are at least as great as those due to Covid-19.

What a moronic country

[natway09]

Some of you people I can see are just out to bitch about your pet (alcohol) being banned

because all of a sudden you are actually affected.

They are trying to save lives (possibly yours) & you bitch & grizzle.

I will say it again ,,,,,We are all governed by the lowest common denominator in a society

If you can't work that out then you must be underage or stupid & should not be drinking anyway

No its not 

Everyone have to get coronavirus or at least a lot. 

If alcohol means so much to them ban it for a while

but it have nothing to do with the virus. 

don't know what I personally think about it. 

Have 2 side, you could restrict on it  other side you can not 

As nobody can control that 

Thai governments can 80%control open or close. 

Same as the phuket districts closure 80%. 

This ideas are generally not well thought through.

its hard when they imploy governors who have same level of education as 12 year student. 

Or at least it seems like that 

the people in the government for the moment doesn't improve that image. 

And it start getting frustrating nobody realise 80% of this ordeal we go through is not connected to corona. 

Sadly its mostly connected to imagination which doesn't do us any good. 

It's a virus only special is the way it infect. 

Keep distance, wear face mask, clean hands and what you use, don't get in big crowds where distance is impossible. 

All the rest missed the target little or far. 

The shut downs where ment for getting the hospitals number in line with hospitals limit. 

A personal wiew.

not even that ever been necessary. 

The death rate depends how well you isolate yourself frem elderly people. Not in your house its insane. 

But this is the most danger from this virus the imagination. 

It's scare all of us. 

But must get on, no matter scared. 

What to do with a tourist destination with only 2000 cases and no immunity. 3 million visitors. 

 

You can all think what you want but that dose not sound ideal.

Please explain how banning alcohol prevents people from getting the Wuhan Flu? Better shut down the supermarkets. People buying food may get the WuFlu. Some people just love having big daddy government tell them what to do and how to live. I fell sorry for people who are so spineless and obey every order from those above them without question. It's no wonder governments find it so easy to take rights away from their subjects.

It reduces the amount of people drinking and therefore gathering in groups. Of course it is not the ONLY thing that will help. However, any help right now to reduce or even eliminate Covid-19 the better. 

in a nutshell, temporary strict measures will get things back to normal a lot sooner.

They really do treat the masses like complete plebs. 

I believe South Africa also have had a total ban on alcohol since the end of March. They have also banned the sale of cigarettes during this period. It’s going to be really tough for some.

But certainly a great time to kick those  habits, and  also a  great way reduce the number of people going into hospital with alcohol related sicknesses and injuries.  Right now, hospitals across the world need those beds for people who are infected with covid-19. So gotta say, there is some sense in what they are doing

[lee b]

I knew they would exrend the alcohol ban. They should have the 21st and 22nd as alcohol open days so we can stock up again for the next period.

Ban all driving, also a great way to reduce the number of people going into hospital with accident related injuries. Right now, hospitals across the world need those beds for people who are infected with covid-19.

In BKK it was the 3rd day of the ban and hospitals had to open up for people with Alcohol Withdrawal ...

Whilst I can see some reasoning to ban alcohol during Songkran, to stop wild parties and folks getting too close together etc . I am at a loss to see how banning alcohol, until the end of April,  will stop anyone getting Covid-19. By your reasoning banning alcohol permanently will stop some people getting the virus! How does that work??

They have talked about opening Golf Courses in Chonburi and BKK so it is really just a matter of priorities.  They also want Salon's open ... presumably a push from the wives.

But, keep the rest of the people with no alcohol.
