Well withdrawal syndromes for chronic alcoholics can be quite fatal so while it seems like it would be silly to complain about locked-down alcoholics not being able to get alcohol, the consequences could actually be bad. Though that depends on how sympathetic alcoholics are to you.

Maybe the actual thing to say is just ‘lockdowns are bad when they cause people to be unable to meet their basic needs’ and then not litigate on what precisely it is that people need.
