All it takes is one voicenote and panicked South Africans rush to their nearest liquor store and fill their trollies.

Look, I get it – we’ve been bitten by the return of the booze ban once before, and cracking a cold beer or two at the end of the day makes lockdown, and life in general, all the more bearable.

For those who are believers in the art of foresight, and prefer clicking the mouse a few times at home over queuing outside of the local TOPS, OneDayOnly’s current beer special will be of interest.

You want beer, you want it at a discounted price, and you’re in luck.

Until midnight tonight (Tuesday, because working from home can melt all sense of time), a case of Sol will be going for R289, which is a 28% saving.

I wouldn’t recommend lining the beers up ten-bowling style, but I would recommend the light, refreshing, and easy-drinking Mexican lager that offers a hint of sunshine in every sip.

After all, when you crack open a Sol, you’re tapping into the sun’s positive energy, and a celebration of true freedom under the sun.

Here’s my preferred set-up, although I would add a little extra ice to ensure peak crispness:

Mmm, beer.

Again, you have until midnight tonight to order your beers, along with the other OneDayOnly specials on offer

A Vegepod, anyone?

Wherever, and however, you’re enjoying your tase of the sun, do so responsibly.
