The governor announced mandatory "Non-Essential Businesses" shut downs today. Apparently he doesn't think GameStop and drive thru strip clubs are essential. I wasn't sure what liquor stores are considered so:

I might just make it through this thing! ? ?

Never figured you for a Lorde fan, but we do live in strange times.

That’s a lot of alcohol :)

Neeeh ... just three bottles of liquor, the rest is bubbly, that fits in the fountain drink category for me ? There is a joke running around here "This week I bought my 2 weeks alcohol supply three times". People that stay at home tend to get bored, running out of alcohol when you are bored is dangerous in Romania ... in our past we have started revolutions because of that ??puffy

I have been considering this also, however, if this gets extremely bad, I’m gonna need every cent I have. I’ve opted for a food stock instead

I'm not calling it panic buying, but we were low on toilet paper and I had to make a run. The only thing they had was a bundle for 30$. Got home and showed my lady the bill and she said.... "I hope your ass is worth it."

If shit really hits the fan and there is ever a food shortage, these idiots will be trading a case of TP for a can of beans. If they can even get a can of beans for it

You're not the only one. I went to my local Virginia ABC store just to get another bottle of my favorite bourbon (Belmont's Kopper Kettle) and overheard the store manager talking about Virginia ABC stores mandatory closing to his coworker. I only had about half of this yesterday morning. Given my "normal" consumption of one or two drinks a week, this would last me about 20 years.

The most pleasant surprise was Ford's Gin. It's REALLY good, and I'm not a routine Gin drinker. Lots of fleeting flavors and very smooth. It does smell rather like expensive aftershave.
