The debate around alcohol and the coronavirus pandemic touches on issues of health, the economy, worker safety – and whether for some a glass of wine may indeed help cope with the stress of seeing their lives upended in the space of weeks.But in North America and much of Europe, alcohol stores remain open, and busy – often protected under the same regulations that allow business such as supermarkets or pharmacies to operate.

Unlike much of the world Canadians are not under official lockdown, but they have been urged to stay home and practice social distancing – and that has been enough to send alcohol sales soaring.

If taken moderately while staying at home, drinking alcohol breverage could also be one way to cope with the stress that covid-19 has brought upon us. It's a different story though if drinking leads to domestic violence or dependency.
