I live in a high risk area. So tonight I spent time reading the new restrictions. And the one take away for me is the Coronavirus and alcohol do not mix.
It is interesting how dependant society is on alcohol to enjoy life. You do get the idea that there is a real societal addiction to the stuff. And lets be honest – a lot of the people we see roughing it on the streets, a lot of the violence we see is linked to the stuff.
Is it time to “just say no”? I mean as a society, not as an individual. Should we be looking at how to develop entertainment that is alcohol free?
Let beer be for those who are perishing,
wine for those who are in anguish!
Let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.
