States throughout the US have experienced alcohol shortages after COVID lockdown restrictions lifted as consumer demand for booze spikes, supply chains dry up and shipping costs for pricey imports skyrocket.Last week, the Pennsylvania state consumer liquor board made an announcement that limited two bottles of select alcohol brands a day per customer.

Lockdowns have not, NOT been lifted. This is the Biden Binge. Now that the US 'elected' this slang for a Venereal Diseases (Ole Joe). This is the result of beyond the misery index misery. Total failure, disastrous policies and America last with no recourse to correct Biden's disaster has lead to a nation that needs to drink. The nation that drinks together, numbs the pain together. Lockdowns my arse!

This is a stupid article. There is no booze shortage. During Covid, consumption was huge. Nothing has changed. Signed; a US consumer. Hic.

This is BS. Even during the worst of the panic lockdowns you could get liquor.

There is a liquor shortage. Their factories closed just as the other factories. The big distributors have empty shelves in some liquors.

Saw on my local news today that there is supposedly a cut flower shortage due to all the Sympathy floral arrangements made for the increase in funerals due to the huge spike in covid deaths. Riiiiight.

Well, my consumption doubled this year. I went through 2 (two) bottles of Bombay Sapphire instead of one!
(My one bottle a year is a bit of a homage to Fr. Fitzgibbon in "Going My Way.")

This appears to be. Bidens fault...people want to forget we have over 3 years left of this mess....under Trump it was toilet paper shortage under Biden its alcohol shortage, open borders, high taxes....it sounds like a subject Pelosi would be interested in for new committee hearings...

I have a friend who runs the canteen at the local VFW. they run out of certain brands of beer every week. Poor things have to drink Miller until the weekly Budweiser truck gets there.

In NC the liquor stores are run by the state. That likely has a lot to do with the "shortage."
