Stoves, toothpaste, gas, meat, healthcare, whatever they want.
All totalitarians do the same thing and they all leave the alcohol mostly alone.

When Charleton was dying, I was sent by a friend to his home off of Mulholland dr. to try and deliver some natural herbal formulas to help him. My friend was hoping I could in past the security gate and get the goods to him and that they would use them. I acted like it was a routine delivery from the doctor who makes the supplements, and the woman let me right in and she received the bottles. I don’t think they ended up using them, but it was a good try for some alternatives!
Some were amazed that I got onto his property so easily...but I was a special delivery courier for 26 years, so it wasn’t so tough.
