Surnames could dictate when you can buy booze: here is what you need to know

During level 3 lockdown, alcohol should be sold according to surnames, the association has proposed.

LTASA argued that limited trading hours could lead to excessive queuing and looting.

“Such limited days and hours will inevitably create a pressure-cooker situation where customers will stand in long queues in the streets, and will boil over into frustration and possibly violence and looting when 12pm arrives and they have not entered the premises yet. “If trading were to be allowed from 9am to 6pm from Monday to Friday, and from 9am to 4pm on Saturday, this will reduce pressure. It would be socially and economically more beneficial from every perspective. Furthermore, this would spread the demand and allow for a gradual but consistent supply.”LTASA proposed a new system in which alcohol is sold to consumers from Monday to Saturday and is based on the first letter of their surname.

All those whose surname starts with any of the letters between A to M will be allowed to purchase booze on Mondays and Wednesdays.All consumers would be allowed to purchase on a Friday and Saturday, irrespective of surnames. Customers would have to produce their IDs when purchasing between Monday to Thursday.
