I think this decision will hit small businesses hard because many small shops make significant revenue out of alcohol sales. It’s a kind of item people always buy, especially beer or wine.
I get why the government decides not to sell strong alcohol in grocery shops, and it’s an effective anti-alcohol measure, but they could leave beer and cyder in there. A similar system works in Norway, but they allow the selling of low-alcohol drinks like beer or cyder in regular shops. Good for me because it’s my way of treatment anxiety. I’m not an alcoholic, but it’s nice to have a good cyder after a long day.
