I’m pretty sure people who go to pubs and beaches aren’t people who are “struggling with drugs or mental issues or poverty and need to go out”.

I don't know about beaches. I can easily go to a beach and stay more than 2m away from others and I get to enjoy lots of fresh air, exercise, and time outside of my tiny apartment. Definitely a necessary therapy in these times.

Only half-jokingly, people who go to the pub during a pandemic might have an alcohol problem.

Counterpoint - liquor stores are considered essential businesses, at least currently in NY, so why should being an alcoholic force you to go to a bar?
