Joking aside I can fully understand why a liquor store is considered an essential business, not just because parents putting up with their kids never leaving the house could drive them to wanting a drink or that responsible drinking has to be done an home as bars are not open to sell alcohol.

If some one is addicted to alcohol to deprive them of it would require them to detox and with out medical supervision that would possibly require one of the hospital beds that need be be saved for those who need them right now, I'm not judging if being an alcoholic is something that should be protected or encouraged but I don't think it is reason to give someone a potential death sentence by either depriving them of a hospital bed or potentially exposing them to COVID-19 or due to giving them a bed depriving someone else a bed that will be in short supply too soon.
