The truth about panic buying I am a prepared citizen in southern California, where at any time a devastating earthquake could hit and all these COVID panic buyers right now where not prepared. That is scary! What if there is a real emergency? It would be an apocalyptic disaster. It scares me that so many people around me are not prepared. That shows you, never tell your neighbors that you are prepared, because for sure, in a real emergency your neighbors would become your enemies. In one area I am not prepared for the long haul is alcohol. Anyone has any suggestion what the best multipurpose alcohol to stash would be?
