Our alcohol ban is still in place 5 weeks later. I believe it was the right call though as it does cause issues amongst the poorer people. Domestic violence etc so I can see it going on for as long as the lock down. Alcohol fuels bravery and stupidity in people so maybe another month or two before we see it again.Cigarettes are still banned and that is even when one of the owners handed the government 1 Billion to help them with the lock down.

I guess I hadn't thought about it from a domestic violence perspective. That makes a lot of sense actually.
I disagree entirely. My friend here in CNX was beaten senseless a couple of weeks ago by an aggressive Thai guy - an alcoholic who needed a drink and couldn't find one. One of the big spikes that the Thai gov has seen over recent cases is NOT covid-19, but domestic violence cases.
yikes, that is terribly tragic
