Friday Night Drinking Thread

Drakeford made me do it by not serving alcohol in pubs #fuming

There we go Drakeford exposed again by chasing the problems back into household mixing which you cannot police, where as hospitality venues can as a minimum provide track and trace .

Nevermind big supermarkets get richer , more cheap booze consumed, mixed households where disciplines go out the window ( innocently) would it not be a better environment where a pub delivers a controlled entrance and masked system , protecting jobs and businesses , economic benefits to Wales, and importantly providing lonely people with a friendly contact with the outside world which is far better than a lockdown dystopia world.

Out of curiosity, and this is not a go at you or your comment, but more something that baffles me a bit - what is it about having this need some people have to physically get together with others for a drink at this current moment in time? I think we all know the message about trying to avoid different households mixing. Current advice is still to do only what is essential.

Don't get me wrong or think I'm antisocial, I enjoy getting together with friends for a beer. I have been frustrated at the lack of opportunities to do so this year. I miss the social aspect of it. I just think that not spreading Covid is more important and keeping others safe until vaccination is widespread is important. I've had a few great zoom sessions with friends and lots of alcohol. It's not meeting in person but it's better than not meeting at all.

You can't play cards, snooker, pool, darts or properly socialize over a computer. It's like being in a Sky-fi movie.
