This has certainly turned into a big brew ha-ha.

Don’t really like beer, the last time I bought any was in the late 60’s.
I would buy a 6 pack for the guy that gave me a ride home on Saturday night and back to work Monday morning. If it includes the good sipping stuff we have a problem.

Digital dollar means nothing if we get a bunch of CMEs or Carrington and it screws the grid up randomly or for extended periods.
It also will be diminished if folks figure out how to modify microwave magnetrons to fry electronics. And folks start frying the computers responsible for that stuff.
But more importantly if folks start going underground and focus more on barter and self reliant off grid living it fails flat on its face.
You aren’t going to pay your utilities with barter. Or gas for your car. Or your groceries. Or your prescription meds. Or any of myriad other things.
Stop dreaming. It won’t go down the way of your fantasy.

Happened to be reading a book--from the 40s, about life 50-60 years before that. The author said they all got along then because they weren't trying to manage one another. It made me realize that is so much of the problem today . . . the liberals are trying to "manage" the rest of us. "You should do this" ... "you should do that." Enough already!

Decades ago, Sweden made alcoholic beverages costly by using a combination of taxes and only selling them at Government-run shops where you had to view pictures of car accident victims while waiting in line to pay for them. The result was making home brewing the most prominent hobby in Sweden, combined with people who viewed getting drunk as the object of bothering to drink.
These days, I take medication, so I don't drink alcohol at all, except maybe one taste of someone's home brew if they ask me. But this recommendation is so over-the-top it is laughable. Not only will people not follow it, they will make it at home, if they try to limit sales.

Today that may be all, recommendations.
Next week or month, they will escalate to requirements.
Now, how will they enforce that over the whole country ?

If anything would trigger a Revolution, it would be telling Canuckians that they can only have two beers a week.
Eh…?
Eh…?
Do you know HOW MANY weeks of winter most of that country gets?! Beer is essential! LOL

Pride comes before the fall.....Pride month ended.
They are poking at a sleeping giant, who aint too groggy to stand and fight, and will. Boston Tea Party won't having anything on this.
Add them all up, they are over the top in every case. No generators, no wood burning, no gas powered vehicles, No guns, no fans..nothing, less of course you are a fellow traveller, a comrade. Communism 101, and they are making their intentions clear.
Truth is, they foster a perception of popular support, when there is none. They lie, they push agenda's.....they are communists who just don't get America. They are useful idiots.
Prohibition proved all one needs to understand... We will survive.

I don't think this will be used to try to make any legal changes. It will likely be used by insurance companies that can raise your rates or deny payouts if you have more than the recommended amount of alcohol per week. They already do that with smoking, as too many widows find out when they discover their husbands had "cheaper" non-smoker insurance, but they smoked anyway. Health insurance can do similar things if you are not seen as a "compliment," depending on the State and the local regulations.

It’s just a matter of time before they start telling you what you can, and can’t buy at the grocery store when you’re on food stamps!!

Well, there should be some controls on food stamps, but that's a different issue. If the taxpayers are supplying the money, then insisting it be spent on real food rather than soda pop or potato chips would be understandable (especially if some personal hygiene products like toothpaste and sanitary supplies were allowed instead).
But the taxpayer isn't paying for someone's personal stash of beer (at least not legally) or any groceries brought using personal funds. There's a big difference. And yes, I have been on food stamps myself, and I refused to buy certain items like soft drinks.

I would be more for giving staples instead of money or stamps and a cook book each month to learn how to cook everything from scratch...

I am old enough to remember the switch, and my Mom volunteered to help a family in the church that was on this stuff because the husband had cancer. The so-called staples were mostly fatty carbs (fatty pork in cans, bleached white flour, processed corn meal, powdered milk, and dried beans), OK for adults but not for the two-year-old and an elderly man with cancer. My Mom would "trade" things like orange juice for the stuff, and then both showed me how to cook some of it, but a lot went to the chickens. It was that bad. My Mom grew up hungry, sometimes not eating for three days at a time, so if she declared it a non-nutritious stodge, it almost certainly was. I still eat beans nearly every day and love cornbread, so it wasn't all horrible, but there was no fruit, veg or lean meat.
My mother took the family's grandmother (who cooked) to the grocery store the first day they got food stamps instead of commodities. I will never forget my Mom telling me about the lady weeping, holding a package of whole chicken and another of burger meat and saying, "I get to choose. I really get to choose again?" She didn't buy both and was very frugal with her purchases, but it was real food, especially for the child.
After that and my own experience keeping about five people fed on one person's food stamps (one of my oldest friends still calls it "The Winter You Kept Us All Alive," buying day-old veg, marked down meat, and learning to make bread. I am in favor of giving people some choices. On the other hand, handing out SOME pre-packaged staples with cookbooks, limiting what can be bought on food stamps to basic foodstuff and some personal supplies. Basic adult education classes (free to those on low income) for things like basic cooking, budgeting, and other life skills people should already know but don't, could also help. In the early 20th century, churches, charities, and even community colleges did a lot of this sort of thing. It doesn't have to all be from the government.

Best learn to brew your own BEER and Wine....and for that matter WHISKEY!!
SCREW THE GOV!! 
BTW....it is perfectly legal for the "head of the household" to brew up to 200 gallons of BEER AND 200 gallons of WINE a year for your own consumption. That works out to over a HALF A GALLON of beer A DAY. (5.2 cans of beer/day)...AND over a half a gallon of WINE a day (that's over 2 1/2 bottles of wine/day). That should be more than enough for anyone.
And if you know how to brew beer that is the first step in making alcohol to distill into WHISKEY....or whatever your pleasure in distilled beverages might be. A little imagination goes a long way.
You just can sell any of your home brew.
Why, to adequately supply Hunter of course.
