Well, not in Texas. The Pennsylvania government has ordered all liquor stores in the state to shut down. There were some articles about how they should reconsider this because people could go into withdrawal and die from it.

But PA has always had very strict laws on liquor. They own all of the liquor stores and no one can sell liquor other than by the drink but them. So they cannot even close their own stores without arguments now.

This is actually true. Alcohol withdrawal and Xanax are the only two addictive substances that can actually kill a person in withdrawal. The others just make you think your going to die. The thought of it did cross my mind when they decided to allow liquor stores to remain open.
