MAINE, USA — When the pandemic started back in March, people ran to the store to buy toilet paper, and also alcohol.
Now, store owners say that panic buying has subsided and fewer people are buying alcohol in bulk, but there is a new trend.
Folks who work in the industry say that now more people are looking for recipes for their favorite cocktails since their favorite bars are closed or have to close before 9 p.m. due to the curfew.
