The novel coronavirus outbreak in India has seen many deprived of items that have not been deemed essential. From restaurants and salons to products such as alcohol -- despite a slight relaxation in the lockdown for parts of the country, such outlets and vendors have now been shut for over a month.
In some places the absence of alcohol has set people to take drastic steps including suicide or consumption of other hazardous alcohol bases products, including but not limited to sanitizers.
But if you can't march down to a restaurant or bar to sit and enjoy a pint of beer, why not do the next best thing?
