Seriously, the word Essential means "required, extremely important, absolute necessity". In what world does a liquor store qualify as essential?

#1 it's Texas

But when I posed the same question to a friend in medical they shared that with stress levels high, they really don't want everyone in detox headed to the ER clogging it up or drinking random things

Sadly, domestic violence goes up in these times -

Alas, with groceries open and selling beer and wine, might as well have the liquor stores open as well

Alcohol withdrawal can be a medical emergency.

We don't need them either taking up a ventilator needed by someone with the virus or being exposed in the ER. They are typically in poorer health due to crappy nutrition and poor absorption of nutrients. Exactly who we don't need getting the virus.

Alcohol is a drug.
People are addicted to it.
Alcohol withdrawal can kill.
I'd say that makes it essential.
This is 2020 not 1920.

So if liquor is essential (absolutely necessary), are drinking ages void?

Maybe the drunks will stay at home and off the roads during our shelter in place order.

So, if you go to a liquor store you're a drunk?

I'm clutching my pearls. Got a pretty good hold on my lone stars and my shiners, too.

Liquor stores are essential because the State of Texas wants their taxes, duh.
