What Happened to All the Alcohol?

[Athene]

The only time I see any is when I hit the stores around 7 or so on my days off. 
It goes quick.

Does your state have state-controlled liquor stores? I lived in Idaho for awhile in the mid-'70s and there were one or maybe two (in a big town) state-controlled stores that sold liquor, and they were only open some small number of hours per day, 5 days a week. You could buy beer and wine at a grocery store, though. That's Mormon country for you, though. Here in California I could go right now to a grocery store and get some boozores. Can't get it from 2 AM to 6 AM (I hear tell), but those are hours that I'm asleep anyway, so I don't much care.

I was addressing OP's search for isopropyl alcohol. Tough to find if one doesn't hit the stores when they first open up.

But yes, hard liquor is sold at ABC stores in this state. They used to be open 7 days a week til 9 or 10, I think. 
Not sure what their operating hours are these days though. I haven't been to one in ages.

How much you need?

I have a solvent locker I keep stocked.


I always have at least a gallon of -

Mineral spirits
Alcohol
MEK
Acetone
Distilled water

I used to have Trichloretylene - but it's gotten too hard to get. Even MEK is getting harder to find.

Ahhh the good old days when you could walk in the hardware and buy a gallon of carbotetrachloride and a case of dynamite with caps and fuse...

Shhhh. Don't tell anybody. I'Im only telling you because I doubt there's anybody in my town at AF. But yesterday I bought two cans of Wer Ones (or Wet Wipes?). These little towels are soaked in alcohol and come 40 to a canister.

Tell no one or they'll be sold out, too.

My cabbies are my source. They drive all over the place and manage to find sanitizer of some sort.

A small part of me is thankful after reading the thread that..... It's not the beer that's become unavailable.

 

Not at work.

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.

No alcohol?
Why not?
Here in Germany you can have any  alcohol you want - any day.

Low demand item becomes high demand item due to hysteria. The producers aren't geared for high demand production.
