Wine.com reports that orders are up 400 percent during stay-at-home orders, as bottoms up is the top activity in these shut in times.
You’d be forgiven for blacking out around sundown and not having even noticed yet that liquor stores across San Francisco are being forced to close at 8 p.m. every night now, according to KRON 4. Mayor Breed issued that order Friday, another of the expanded shelter in place orders now in effect until at least May 1. Any cursory scrolling of social media you’ve done in the last two weeks — and yes, it has only been 14 days since this started — will show you that drinking alcohol has become a preferred pastime in the age of COVID-19. We now have the data to back this “No [expletive], Sherlock” observation; on the heels of Eater National's report that alcohol sales are skyrocketing (“Three-liter boxed wine is up 53 percent”), the Chronicle follows up with a report that Wine.com is seeing a 400 percent increase in spirits sales, from which Eater teases out the granular conclusion that Bay Area residents are drinking 42 percent more alcohol whilst stuck home.

It’s not just the booze.
I’m sure in a few years the demographics people will be talking about the “Corona Bump of 2020.”
“Corona Kids”
When is "bottoms up" not the top activity in the Bay Area?
An emergency box of wine that lasts 5 weeks is what I considered prepping.
That has to be a big box of wine.
Are there actually any straight people in the Bay Area?
From the “DOH” files\
Why not as long as they are staying at home.
Happily hetero, raging paleocon (Barry Goldwater/Robert Taft) here. Catching up on my drinking, laughing at governer Goodhair. Straight as any male you’ve ever known, but getting s***-faced whilst laughing at the libtards.
Depends on the consumption...
Seriously. I’m considering coming out of legal retirement to become a divorce attorney when this is all over.
Kidding, of course...
If I lived in San Francisco I would have starting drinking long ago.Wouldn’t need a pandemic to drive me to drink there.
There has been an uptick in domestic violence calls here. Lots of intoxication involved.

My son....but he’s so liberal. I blame his wife (who is a female in case you’re wondering) but I think it’s really his own fault.
That’s what I was thinking. While camping a friend and I can finish a box plus in an evening. Of course we have wine while making dinner, wine with dinner, and wine during cards or a movie....
