The SA alcohol industry, including the National Liquor Traders Council, SA Liquor Brand owners Association, the Beer Association of SA, Vinpro, the Liquor Traders Association of SA and manufacturers are unhappy with the return of the booze ban.
The government's ban on the sale of alcohol during the lockdown was reinstated without warning on Sunday night.
The groups says this was done without considering the industry's attempts to address behavioural changes around problem drinking.
The industry said it has continuously engaged with government over the past month to ensure compliance with the limited trading days and hours imposed when the initial ban was modified, as well as adherence to the safety protocols in formal retail and taverns.
To preserve livelihoods, the alcohol industry is calling on government to engage with it over a social compact that drives behavioural change regarding the use and consumption of alcohol through various interventions.
