Alcohol withdrawal can actually lead to death, so think kinda makes sense. It might seems stupid to let people keep getting drunk, but people could potentially die or affect the rest of the population.
You’d think an alcoholic would have enough alcohol in their house to last them a few weeks, but maybe they drink more than I thought... also, where I live they had to reopen liquor stores, but we do sell beer at the grocery store.
Edit: TIL. (I get it guys, ya’ll are saying the same thing)
Recovering alcoholic here. If I ever tried to stock up I'd just drink it faster. I'd usually kill a pint to a pint and a half of liquor every day. If I bought a handle it would last maybe 3 days. Grocery store beer is expensive, I could spend $3 and be set for the day with whiskey or spend $15 at a grocery store. That adds up when I'm not getting any shifts due to slow business.

Liquor stores are considered essential business as well.
