Soon after a 10-day lockdown was announced on Tuesday, liquor sales in the State went north. Wine shops attracted long queues of men who didn’t know that liquor shops can be opened from 6 am to 10 am every day during the lockdown. Drinkers just didn’t want to take a chance and were willing to take a chance with coronavirus instead as they crowded wine shops.
