Ahh Denver... Ya gotta love the priorities!


(an alert that just came across my phone).

1. Thank goodness the NY governor deemed liquor store essential businesses

[Demsrule86]

15. As I sip my Gin and Tonic...I agree! getting some quionine (Tonic) and Blue Sapphire gin...

best gin in the world...

[dhol82]

17. Just got a large bottle for the duration.

[Rorey]

2. Well, dispensaries........

I really think they should remain open. I don't indulge, but I did go last week to get something for my daughter. They took names and then you waited in your car until you're messaged that it's your turn. It went smoothly.

3. Yeah, I'm not questioning. But it was the only alert I saw today that struck me as funny.

4. Handcock should just concentrate on his strip clubs.

No, I've never liked him nor his radical city council. And I'm a democrat!

12. Lol. He rubs me the wrong way as well.

But he got his shit together quick after letting that Post Maline concert go on a few weeks ago.

5. This is not the time for the hospitals

To be using resources treating withdrawal.
Or overdose if people buy from new sources or try different drugs to get by

9. This

For those with alcohol dependency, they're essential. Stopping cold turkey WILL cause seizures. Hospitals are already overwhelmed.

10. Yes..

Here in New York, the governor ordered bars to close, as well as restaurants for anything other than take-out. The potential for heavy drinkers going into the DTs was the first thing I thought of, before I read that liquor stores would be open. Plus, there are a whole lot of substance abusers amid the homeless population.

13. The only thing that would rival that would be

running out of cigarettes. There would be riots.

[treestar]

16. Yes I saw this reasoning

makes sense.

Pennsylvania closed their liquor stores. But they can get beer and wine in grocery stores.

6. If we ever needed weed and booze, it's now.

I'm in Oregon, and Governor Brown issued Stay At Home Order today, I haven't gone through the whole order yet, but I'm thinking weed stores will stay open for medicinal purposes, as long as the managers follow strict guidelines.

7. Booze n weed! Essential business! Do we need state run TP dispensaries now too?

[GulfCoast66]

8. The thing to look for in liquor stores now is 151 Ever Clear!

I scored 1.75 liter of it and also bought 1.75 liters of 100 proof vodka. Cut them 50/50 and I have over 3 liters of hand Sanitizer with over 60% alcohol. Added in some peppermint extract so I don’t smell like a drunk and I have well over 2 months supply.

And if the shit really hits the fan I can drink myself unconscious!

11. I noticed a flurry of traffic after his announcement

this afternoon even though I'm not in Denver proper.

14. That's what you want to do with a virus, compromise your immune system and eliminate vitamins.

Several drinks and most of the vitamins in your body are purged.
