The booze ban as I understand it was regional govs. They all just followed each other. Was Phuket the first? Anyway the BS should be ended April 31 That will be never then? ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be speaking the loudest that is unless they are being rewarded to be quiet.... Perhaps they,'re earning more distilling alcohol into hand wash than they were brewing beer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The only pro i see of letting the ban go on is the entertainment value of the addicts on Thaivisa moaning about alcohol or proudly displaying how much alcohol they have. It helps lighten my day up in these lock-down situations. Having said that for the poorer population this ban is a blessing people can pay their bills and food first and don't (cant spend) on alcohol. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoilSpoil Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Im convinced the alcohol ban will be extended by at least another month. People who stay home the whole day are getting bored stiff, and will drink more than usual, leading to weaker immune systems and domestic violence.. See the ban as an opportunity to detox and cleanse your liver. 6 months no alcohol will do. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way some people moan and keep stock and brew their own stuff seems like an addiction too me. But sure its a freedom of choice. But if your that dependent on it shows at least an unhealthy link. That is just me, seems similar to people who smoke a package per day. Still people should be able to drink smoke what they want as long as they dont bother others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Canuck1966 Posted April 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2020 I can never understand teetotallers. Their lives must be incredibly dull drinking water or some other tasteless beverage with a delicious meal A lovely glass of wine with a steak or an ice cold beer with a hot curry is what life is all about. It's not all about sitting on a 7/11 step drinking cans of archa! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To even suggest that people are addicts just because they enjoy a beer is disrespectfull and indeed insulting. I do not participate in your 'look at my beautifull bronze body' threads, and insinuate that all body builders are on steroids now do I, because that would be wrong and so is saying that because you like a beer you are addicted. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, had a bottle of Hong Tong I'd been hoarding since the beginning of this saga. Yesterday I cracked. I'm guessing there are a few guys like me, not alcoholics exactly, but need to have a good blow out every now and then. Keeps us meek and mild, and on the wagon, the rest of the time. Freud said alcohol is pretty much essential to the functioning of modern society, I tend to agree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was ignorant, were people buying alcohol and still gathering together in public to drink. If they had half a brain-cell they would have bought booze to drink at home or at least indoors somewhere, but as usual they continued in their old ways and forced the ban. I hope they learnt their lesson... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
