One reason is alcohol related domestic violence could spike ( more going to hospitals for care ) if alcohol is denied to some customers hence liquor stores are made to be essential services during the pandemic. Liquor stores are also a big money maker for govt ( ie taxed on liquor ) .I’m not going to explain this again. Please google delirium tremens. A severe, life threatening, hospital requiring, condition that occurs in alcoholics that stop drinking abruptly. The only prevention to this condition other then an inpatient admission is alcohol. Hospitals didn’t need a surge in admissions.
