People want to self medicate in order to tolerate this crisis and all the craziness that comes with it all!
That’s a rhetorical question, right?
Hahahahaha
Liquor stores open for same reason marijuana stores open, I approve of medical marijuana but never recreation, to many drunks and dope heads on the road as it is!
runningwoman Cause they sell hot Cheetos and takis
Of course liquor stores are essential.
Alcohol kills the virus?
Because they're extremely essential.

It's a necessity for some people to have an adult beverage drink to calm the nerves! Especially in stressful times.
JoyAnnReid Alcohol must slow down the rate of New Yorkers panicking ?
But andrewcuomo is doing such a great job!
Alcoholics would be hospitalized faster than anyone with Withdrawals..Some truth carryon
It is a bit silly, but... really silly, mind bogglingly silly would be if the gun shops would be deemed 'essential'
People making hand sanitizer with everclear
Because liquor is a big tax revenue source for the state and city.
Ohio tooooooooooooo
In many neighborhood liquor stores are THE only viable place to get any type of “groceries” for communities. Not every area is lucky enough to have access to fresh produce and Safeway chains ect. All outlined in the “death by zip code” studies also
You think liquor stores are non-essential?
Democrats are keeping the booze stores open but closing everyone else down....of course......where else would members of Congress get their booze if they were closed too.
true.
Because everyone is on lockdown. Liquor may be the only thing that get many people through this.
Because of the mafia
Pa governor need to c this closed our liquor stores but kept beer distributors open figure that one out
Funniest thing l heard all day.
Do you people realize that NY and NYC are not the same thing?
Be aware that there are republican citizens looking forward to having slavery in existence again and they out there right now bragging about how good it will be for them to have slaves
The politicians would rather people be impaired when they pass they’re latest spectacle of magical thinking that will improve people’s lives.
Liquor stores are absolutely essential when bars are closed. Whomever is confused by this, I suggest you go down to your local liquor store and park and watch how many people need their fix.
WTH?!🔔 Essential for what?🤔 Mental health?😲
The government has ordered all the stores to shut down in the wake of COVIDー19 Get all the facts about the number of affected countries by the novel coronavirus. COVID19outbreak CoronaVirusUpdate
Because who wants crazy alcoholics going through withdrawal in middle of this shit
It's because the last thing New York needs is a bunch of alcoholics dying from detoxing. They arectrying to save the beds for sick patients.
Shutters down.
Because alcohol kills the virus
JoyAnnReid Because who tf is trying to watch Trump's press conferences sober?!?!
Hey LeesDiscountLiq you are 'ESSENTIAL'... now let's get those doors open again!!! Lbvfs
You’re damn right they are!!!!
JoyAnnReid This is calm you down medication.
And your point is
JoyAnnReid Liquor is ALCOHOL. Alcohol is essential! Esp since the first aid variety is disappearing off the shelves.
JoyAnnReid esaagar I have seen you tweet with joy that marijuana stocks are going down and express skepticism about dispensaries being deemed essential. What do you think about liquor stores?
Alcohol kills the virus. Wash your hands with bourbon.
A virus that hits you hard with a fever means you should avoid alcohol and drink water, but beer might be okay as long as you do not get dehydrated.
Is it that slow if a news day?
Hahahahaha
stockguy61 Everclear is 200 proof. Safer on your hands than drinking
Because during times like this some people have a drink or 2, 3 or 4 to relax their minds a little. 🤷🏾♀️
JoyAnnReid Gotta agree!
Unlike with hand sanitizer, with whiskey you can disinfect both outside and in.
JoyAnnReid OK, we finally have Gov. Cuomo's first serious mis-step.
Because the bars are closed. This isn't prohibition.
Essential! Can you imagine what hospitals would be facing if alcohol was removed from the states?
JoyAnnReid Yes
Over here on the west coast they're deeming pot shops essential yo
Alcoholics... That's why...
JoyAnnReid
JoyAnnReid Don't know about New York, but some sporting goods stores that sell firearms are also being deemed 'essential.' Reason given: unconstitutional for Gov to deny access to purchases. Smh.
Duh, like it says, it’s deemed essentials.
JoyAnnReid I will not die sober
Absolutely absurd!
Well, the are!
Praise God
JoyAnnReid No brainer.
Why Because were goina need a drink !
For real for real? Guess they want ppl to anesthetize their pain over this pandemic fiasco.
Because they know if people can't get their booze in NY they will travel to other states. That would spread the virus more. It's the lessor of two evils.
Lol 😂
Why is this even a question? Must keep high alcohol level to avoid germs 🦠
Big donors?
Every thing Italy did, Democrats are doing
Because you will riots in the streets. This would be the final breaking point. Not kidding.
LatPoliticalAve Otherwise you get riots.
Have you ever seen an alcoholic go through withdrawals?
will wonders ever cease/.
Liquor, must be the only reason your still broadcasting.
All the MJ dispensaries in Seattle are also open.

Because the last thing first responders need is to deal with a load of people detoxing and needing immediate medical attention.
