Our current world wide quarantine has cause alcohol sales to sky rocket. Why is this a concern? Close to 90,000 people die from alcohol related issues every year in the US. But now with increased drinking, the sky is the limit.

Not weird.

In times like these, the familiar becomes comforting.

Better to drink at home than to drive home afterward.

Right, if you have no where to be then you can drink without worrying about driving.
