What Happened to All the Alcohol?
May 19, 2020 at 6:54 pm
I asked the customer service lady at my grocery store when they would get a new shipment of isopropyl alcohol. thinking I could come the day they got it before it sold out. She told me they can’t get any.
Woah, wait. The store can’t get any alcohol? With alcohol in such high demand it would look like manufactures would be filling the stores as fast as they can produce it. They’d make billions. Something tells me alcohol is only being sold in certain areas probably at a very high price.
Now I wonder, can you made it in a bathtub like they used to made drinking alcohol during prohibition? Maybe I could find a speak easy somewhere.
Other products in high demand because of the coronavirus that aren't available in the stores where ordinary people shop: hand sanitizer, Lysol, gloves, hydrogen peroxide. i asked the customer service lady if they had any DDT, but she just laughed.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Same reason toilet paper is in short supply, it's being hoarded. Selfishness is the king of the day.

Buy Everclear. That way you can rub and drink.
We have plenty of H2O2 here. Most folks don't seem to know that it works also.

Can't get alcohol, peroxide, hand sanitizer, hand soap, anything that says Lysol, and now meat is getting scarce.
Toilet paper is back on the shelves and Clorox brand cleansers are too.

If you really wanted to you could learn to ferment and then get one of these suckas:
Like a proper moonshiner!
Or make H2O2:
'Round my neck of the woods McMennemins has altered their 'stil production to create hand sanitizer. Rogue Brewing has done the same thing. Hooray Oregon!

If you want to know where the monopoly is, invent a time machine and ask Eliote Ness and Al Capone how that works.

FACK - I think it's a really obscure reference to prohibition.
My ring must be made of stronger stuff.
It's probably also supposed to be funny...hahahahaha…
