Local news station says

"Americans seem to be drinking their way through the coronavirus."

 

Reminded me of that post someone posted here that we would either become great cooks or drunks!

 

Then said asking why🤔-

Not hard to figure out!

But then will suggest other ways. Maybe ice cream?😬

Yes I know there are many other more wonderful healthy ways and now I'm going to take a nap while we all figure it out! Here's to us all!

It's going to lead to alcoholism in some people. I don't drink because alcoholism is in my family. So it's a serious matter for me, and I fear for the pain that some people will suffer.

My husband decided that we needed banana bread. I have no clue where that came from. So a couple days ago, he made banana chocolate bread. It's now in the freezer in case we go into starvation mode.

 

We are all losing it.

Well people cannot go and have dinner and drink or to a bar.

It is expected that sales will rise that sharply.  Food, baby supplies, cleaning goods have to be up 110%.

My take, is that alcohol is the new toilet paper.  People who usually purchase it anyway, are just stocking up now, in case it becomes hard to get, or they can't get out to get it. 

It has no expiration date, so they can always use it long after this crisis ends

The liquor stores in Pennsylvania are closed; they're all state stores.  I believe wine can still be had at supermarkets.

The liquor stores in my state may go to online orders, pick up outside of the stores.  

beer and wine can be purchased in supermarkets
