  1. Alcohol is never an essential item. It's literal poison and destroys a country's moral fabric, its health, one's own organs and limits people's capacity to think straight. What a horrible message by the health authorities and government to send out during a health crisis. Typical Western values.

  2. Essential implies something that you need to function, to survive. The pillar of society. Drugs, snacks, poison and sugary candy isn't essential.

  3. Encouraging people to drink alcohol and enabling that isn't sound to do. No one benefits long-term by that. Chocolate is also questionable. Just because people indulge in these items to an extreme extent, doesn't make this decision into a responsible one. There's no better time than now to slowly abandon the proliferation and consumption of drugs. But nope, European countries would never be willing to do so.
