Happy hour got canceled by a new law. No more greatly discounted beer and wine in stores in the Netherlands.

That seems like an odd law! But, yeah, having everyone cluster together at a certain time isn't a good idea!

Happy hour is something that is used in bars(here anyway) An hour when all drinks are like 50% cheaper. Supermarkets and liquer stores were doing their own version were every week they had certain brands at a great discount. Last week I got 2 crates of Heineken for the price of 1. Starting july 1th they are not allowed to give more than 25% discount.

They also wil start having deposits on small plastic bottles. Next up is maybe a sugar tax, like they have in brittain?

Oh, so it's more an over-consumption thing, than a Covid thing.
Meh.
Yeah, the sugar tax has certainly prodded a lot of drinks companies, in particular, to bring out a ton of those "Zero" drinks. Not really sure what alcohol companies might do, though, other than maybe 0% beers and the like.

"Wow, this 0% vodka tastes just like tap-water!!"
