Keep in mind that during lockdowns alcohol shops have remained open as an "essential service"
This seems dumb but it's a macabre reality that the government knows there are large amounts of alcoholics that would go into acute withdrawal and most likely die.
There are enough of these people that it affected policy.
This is a "get jabbed or die" to those alcoholics. It's in the same ballpark as insulin and diabetics, but they just started with alco's because no-one cares about them.
This is worse than you think.

Including some people here, apparently… Which is… Depressing, but perhaps unsurprising. 😑
