No moralizing required. The pandemic measures in some states made liquor and drink delivery easier or legal and frankly glorified alcohol consumption. My friends in New York who own a liquor store 5x their sales and moved into an old big box storefront.
Returning to 2019 regulatory framework is not prohibition nor blue laws. It would likely reduce alot of human suffering without impacting moderate drinkers.
- Aloha 3y agoWhat in the regulatory framework substantively changed? The only thing I can recall was to-go liquor sales with takeout - which I strongly suspect is not a big mover of change here.
- Spooky23 3y agoIn New York, bars are able to sell booze for off premises consumption. Delivery of packaged liquor also became more available. It facilitates alot of work day drinking and bad outcomes for people with problems.
- Aloha 3y agoI think its worth studying - but I suspect that's nipping around the edges again - if you're dying of alcohol related illnesses, its from buying sizable quantities of booze at the place that sells booze - not a beer with lunch.
