some will want to relax their way out of dealing with life before there is stability.

probably a good way to get killed?(when their guard is down)!
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

The days to go are getting few,
dont drop your guard, they could still get you.

it wouldn't surprise me if the police added something nasty to the drugs the capture in case they got stolen.
I would leave the drugs alone but I would take bottles of spirits. You can use them to sanitise a wound or surface, and you can make herbal extracts with vodka. I'm not a huge drinker but a few bottles of single malt might find they're way into my trolley for a small tipple at big events. I wouldn't bother with anything weaker like beer or cider though.
Do not rush to meet Death, he may not wish to see you.

a few bottles might be useful for wounds and herbal tinctures and the like, but not for "internal use", be "alert as lerts don't get caught with their guard down" to paraphrase someone old motto.

not the best way to survive a shtf event Jonas, either with a hangover or strung out, neither would I want to rely on someone else in this condition.

TBH, some people end up like that on Saturday nights in many provincial British towns. And that's BEFORE TSHTF!
Find a resilient place and way to live, then sit back and watch a momentous period in history unfold.

Please Sunna, read my post before you comment. That's certainly NOT what I said. You either misquoted me intentionally or inadvertently, and you owe me an apology either way.

It may be safe to have a drink "at home" provided you're not on the "duty roster" for the midnight shift watch, but I sure don't want to enter any survival situation mentally impaired in any way. Other lives may depend on me.
yes i misread you post
