Does a ban on booze help?

You finally tired of doing what you want? Cause, any woman will want to control you.

Thank you for the wake up call For a moment there I got weak at the knees because she owns a bottle store

No problem.

I honestly thought that pro (bottle store) outweighed the con (loss of freedom) for a minute.

This is hard... really wish I had some wine this weekend Would be great if alcohol bans were applied at a provincial level, but that probably won't happen... NDZ won't stand for it

Could this be a calling to consider using the illicit market to source wine?

 

[porchrat]

I absolutely believe it does so.
However, same as I believed with regards to the cigarette ban last year, smuggling operations and black market trading will inevitably promote the spread of the disease.
I think at the very least they can allow alcohol deliveries.
Any arrangement that minimizes the number of times people leave their homes, and at the same time keep them as content as possible at home, are the ideal solutions.

Boosting the illegal alcohol trade is a secondary concern - And not a small one. Same as it should have been while they were boosting the illegal cigarette industry last year.

Must agree I like the idea of alcohol deliveries being allowed.

It is not.

Right, so my aunt caught it from hospital after a thyroid procedure. Should she be fined?

I know a few extraordinarily cautious people who have caught it and it is unknown how or where it came from despite following all precautions to the tee. Should they be fined?

It's an utterly ridiculous proposition to suggest that individuals are always at fault for contracting the virus considering how the precautions have proven time and time again not to be 100% effective and that a lack of precaution from others can result in transmission.

Aaahh! So precautions don't work. Lockdowns don't work. Booze bans don't work. What does work?

Not getting tested. Not giving the twits in power the data they need to manipulate us. No tests = no positive results = no pandemic.

What in the actual flying **** are you on about?

 

[noxibox]

At least the protests are peaceful due to a lack of alcohol.

It's individuals that screw it up and why we can't have nice things.

Yes, those individuals would be the ones in government.

I wrote it in English. Not that difficult to comprehend.

Not getting tested means not knowing if you should isolate and therefore running the risk of transmitting covid to all and sundry.

You do see the obvious flaw with your strategy, right?

 

[grok]

I would have just added a temporary R10000 tax to every unit of alcohol. If someone gets drunk under those circumstances, you know they invested the effort, and they’ve basically already funded any hospital stay.

You know the sin tax on booze is exactly that, a voluntarily extra tax meant to mitigate the effects of people drinking, being irresponsible and putting extra strain on resources?

It just means boozers already pay for extra beds and medical emergency resources, so ask your government where exactly that money goes..

Accelerated herd immunity. Do you really think that covid is ever going away? The big pharma just found a new cash cow is all.

Booze ban definitely helping... Helping destroy the economy, I wonder if we would have had riots if the people were allowed to work and drink? When the vaccine certificates arrive the covid tax begins.
