We should really ask ourselves, what risks we are taking in leaving people under lockdown in their homes with a substance that is harmful both in terms of their health and the effects of their behaviour on others, including violence? Can you go and preach somewhere else! 9 2 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mung Posted April 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2020 I wonder how many of the wide spread suicides can be directly or indirectly linked to lack of booze. Also hospital visits and deaths, alcohol withdrawal is no joke 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a lot to do with enjoying a glass of wine or a beer with a meal in the evening and a lot to do with individual choice. Notice no-one is trying to tell you that you must drink alcohol. Why not tell everyone to go to church as well on Sunday instead of say, playing golf? Take no notice bkk6060 is just being a supercilious snide and telling himself how clever he is. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg O Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 It's all about control. This regime is paranoid about Social unrest hence the Alchohol ban combined with the Curfew. They're throwing a few tidbits out to appease the populace. Farmers markets , noodle shops never did close. Hair salons pet shop boys Really ?

Popular Post Guderian Posted April 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2020 Maybe, if the owners of Thai Bev and Boon Rawd had offered him a few billion Baht when he asked for it, then we'd now be back in the land of free-flow alcohol. It sounds like somebody's having a hissy fit in the government. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restaurants are allowed to open, I believe it's as simple as that. Instead of going to a bar everyone will go to a restaurant and sit there drinking, so they prevent that by cutting off the supply. Massive over reaction and a big mistake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad time to stop drinking altogether and spend the time and money to something else? Some say that it takes 3 weeks to change habits, good or bad. Now we have ample of time to do just that. Yup, I'm going to spend all that saved money on hookers from now on. Never been able to do that. Always been too drunk. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
