    Just one possible example would be that Ethanol is used in making beer, wines, and spirits. If pre-pandemic it was found people were socialising after work more than they are now, the consumption of those things would have been greater compared to now. I imagine they will want people socialising more after work to buy more booze to make the most of the imported Ethanol.

          I’m also going to have to jump on the “And?” bandwagon here.

          I thought the alcohol produced was a result of the fermenting process, not an added product

            This was my mistake and you’re right. I had read as part of an announcement in the news that Ethanol is used for beer, wine, and spirits. Seems I wasn’t the only fool.

              No worries! In the past, I’ve had issues with replies posting under comments posting out of order. I just guessed the glitch was back, and am relieved that it isn’t! Double entendre cheers!

            Building sits empty, rents are lost, value decreases.

              We’re having two different conversations here, aren’t we? I could have asked anything and the answer would be the same.

              Ethanol -> WFH jump still hasn’t been explained

            You just pour the industrial ethanol over the hops. Delicious beer.

            :D
