The exponential rise of alcohol-fueled domestic violence is among the most heinous features of this quarantine. One grotesque side-effect of Coronavirus is certainly the sight of a drunken, angry man walloping a woman, especially in front of the children. Or attacking the children, too. Yes, domestic violence exists across genders and sexual orientations, but these are its predominant forms.
