Holy crap, this is insane: https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/lockdown-alcohol-ban-st... .

I can't imagine trying to get through this quarantine without at least some booze, and I rarely drink. How are they handling all the bonafide alcoholics that would go into DTs with this?

Having lived in Africa for 2 years (not SA though), I guarantee that the reason for the ban is for the government to profit off of bribes. Whenever something doesn't make any sense in Africa, the answer is always the same: bribes.

Also Bahamas has no liquor sales, and crazy tight lockdowns every weekend where you can't leave your house for groceries even.

And cigarettes. Smokers must be going insane.
