Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted November 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2020 No booze permitted in ASQ... The reason being that ’some people’ will get drunk and start acting like tools. They’ll try and leave the ASQ to go out for more beer etc.. It is unfortunate that the rules are made for the lowest common denominator. That said, my baggage was not searched, a lot of others have also reported their baggage was also not searched - thus if you want to pick up a bottle of something at Duty Free you’d likely get away with it. That said: 2 weeks isn’t too hard to wait for a beer.... 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post madmen Posted November 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2020 That's a bummer. In Oz we were allowed 1 bottle of wine or a 6 pack of beer a night and there were times when frustration sets in when they were much appreciated. However it's nonsense that people will break out apart from a handful of idiots. On the contrary it helps people to remain calm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the way of the world. If everyone knew how to behave we would not need any rules. Some people become really bad when drunk and they of course dislike being locked up in a hotel room.

robblok Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Just now, madmen said: Drunk on a 6 pack? Maybe A bit mellow. I was talking about alcohol in being available in ASQ and then getting drunks. Not about the quantity. If you give a lil bit people will moan they want more. I can understand it some drunks are so hard to manage especially in a situation where they are locked up. Sadly its always the idiots that spoil it for the rest. Same goes actually for many things ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason being that ’some people’ will get drunk and start acting like tools. They’ll try and leave the ASQ to go out for more beer etc.. I'm curious, have you seen this reason given officially, or is that just an assumption? People reasonably assume that's the logic behind the ban here - despite the fact that most countries have no issue with alcohol in quarantine - but I kind of wonder, given all the other odd restrictions in Thai quarantines. For example, in many countries you can order in any food that you want; here, ordering in food isn't allowed, even if it's just left in the lobby and then deposited outside your door. Many forum members have constructed rationalizations for why that is, but I've never actually seen an official explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SidJames Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I read on here that someone was stopped from buying a certain brand of fish sauce at Makro after 2pm because it has trace amounts of alcohol in it. I always liked the way some Russians would take their bottle of beer from the 7 fridge then plonk then exact amount owed on the counter & walk out the door. It's maybe why they closed off the fridges in some stores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea for mitigating the effects of acute alcohol deprivation - however the practical and legal hindrances are enormous so I fear its a non-starter.

Glad you think so I like my beer and have a beer, wine or Whisky on most days. I can go without, but enjoy boozing so I choose to drink whenever I want or feel like it. I stayed for 15 days in ASQ without a beer without any issue whatsoever. If someone struggles for two weeks without booze - they perhaps have bigger issues than not being able to access booze ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
