I was at Don Mueang airport recently. Could not buy a beer once through customs/immigration. Could buy at 711 before. Insane. 

There is a little kiosk near Gate 51 that was selling beer last week. Also Miracle lounge had alcohol too but of course had to pay to enter unless had the right card access.

Thailand 'craft beer'; really?

 

Is that some kind of a sick joke comment?   What 'craft beer'  would that be then, in terms of the definition as understood by we mature, knowledgeable  and experienced  beer drinkers from  the UK?  US citizens need not comment. 

Well Outlaw Brewing in Loei as one example...

I haven’t seen a shred of evidence from anywhere that alcohol bans reduce Covid

 

Right now I can be in close consort with a (boran) masseuse for an hour or a tattoo artist for half a day, but am not allowed a beer even at an outdoor table. How does that make sense?

He called for the chance to sell beer freely in bars and restaurants saying that it was better to have it out in the open where it could be regulated than drive it underground

So one has to ask why is craft beer not freely available in all shops, online should be available too?

Bars were not allowed to open because of person to person contact which is understandable.

No one dies on the roads, gets beaten up, gets pregnant, wakes up with a ladyboy or falls asleep behind a dumpster from drinking beer either...

 

...but it sure contributes.

From craft beer?

Shouting over loud music or even the general noise level of a drinking establishment will enable small particles from your mouth to spread far more than is normal. Also it is a known drug to make people more touchy feely and want to be closer to others like many other drugs do.

Early on UK, the government shut the pubs at 21.00.  So folks went home to continue drinking with thier friends after this. So very probable it made little difference to the spread of covid. They had to have proper lockdown before the virus rate slowed down enough.

 

So yes its not the drug so much, as the social effects.

Which of those consequences reflect your own experience(s)?
