Let's be honest about this: having a good time hasn't been easy in much of the country in recent times, and it just got harder in Melbourne.
But, while impromptu crawls and pop-up parties have been cited as reasons behind the Victorian government's decision to show their NSW counterparts what a really harsh lockdown looks like, there are those who've been looking to enable good booze lovers to have a good time in a totally safe and above board manner.
Among them are the crew at The Great Beyond, with the Coburg store embarking on another House Party At Home on August 20.
The concept is simple: they bring the supplies to your door and stream party vibes to your screen and speakers.
What's supplied is rather delicious too...
