They buried the lede here as they also banned takeout alcohol purchases.
You can't buy alcohol to take home. You can buy it in a restaurant or bar if you want to pay 10x it's retail value on the spot still though.

Take it from a nation of drunkards who live in the heat- You want low ABV beers.
Under 3.5%, around 2.7% - it's low enough in alcohol that it stops being dehydrating, it won't hydrate you but you're not actively dehydrating yourself either.
There is a reason the top end of Australia drinks XXXX which is 3.5%. It's only us down in the south that can get away with drinking full strength during Winter (now!)
XXXX which is 3.5%
That's Mid (strength), XXXX is 4.4 but was stronger for a long time. I don't care, I like Ales. Coopers uses brackish water, so it's rich in electrolytes, stepping around the problem, as long as you 'zebra stripe' (drink some damn water along the way) as the next gen says.
XXXX is 100% trash. QLDer here and always drink higher ABV that's in better beers. Just drink water in between to stay hydrated.
Wine spritzers are the way to go.
Or do my absinthe spritzer:
super refreshing, low ABV(ish). For even less alcohol, swap absinthe with Absinthe NV.
Don't you want drinks that actually hydrate you though?
Yes but there aren't any alcoholic drinks that do that and we are trying to get buzzed out here
Wouldn't then drinking hard liquor for buzz and something hydrating be a decent option?
Only if you drink the water first. Do it the other way and you're wasted by the time you drink water.
Vodka and cucumber water!
Dislike this the solution should never be "legalistic" in scenarios like this.
Just like with COVID, if people don't have the good sense to regulate their own behaviors, when it affects the general population, then the state should intervene. During the height of COVID people with serious conditions were turned away from historians hospitals because they were full of infected people that weren't vaccinated. That, in turn, drove occupancy limits and mask mandates.

But what if someone needed to know the details of the first Punic war?
Not the same thing at all drinking and suffering heat issues doesn't infect others with heat stroke don't police stuff like this public education.
If the hospitals are jammed because 1 million people have heat stroke it starts to affect others.
Contagious or not, their personal behaviors are clogging up hospitals. Public education should be a component but they're already in the middle of a health crisis. Education campaigns take time to create and even more time to fully disseminate throughout the population.
You can still buy alcohol and drink it at home. I mean you can order as much alcohol as you like online, delivered to you the same day.
It totally makes sense to restrict alcohol in public during a heatwave.
I don't think criminal solutions solve anything ever. Do public education on the dangers but don't police it.
