Yeah, great advice. Incredibly stressed out people, many of whom are out of work, cooped up with their families and no alcohol. What could possibly go wrong? Cough...cough..."The Shining."

I like this quote from the article:

"That doesn’t seem to be stopping consumers, however. U.S. sales of alcoholic beverages shot up at the end of March, as many stay-at-home orders were put in place. And while many states have deemed liquor stores “essential” businesses that could stay open, online alcohol sales soared 243%, according to Nielsen."

It would seem the WHO has their work cut out for them.
