Seven days down and only 14 more days of #AlcoholFreeSA
SA has been in lockdown for seven days, with widespread restrictions on movement, borders shut and travel restrictions in place.
Regulations state that only essential items can be purchased during the lockdown, and "essential items" does not include booze.
A week into the 21-day lockdown, many South Africans have celebrated the lack of alcohol in their homes while others have bemoaned the idea of 14 more days without dop. From still having money in their account to not having hideous hangovers, here's what some had to say.

I may have to write to the President requesting that alcohol should not be sold after 18:00 in South Africa even after this lockdown. Clearly South Africans can do this. #AlcoholFreeSA
