The coronavirus lockdown and your drinking

[Badgers]

The fact that I'm not DJing plays a big part. I NEED a constant supply of Jager for technical reasons that non-DJs can never possibly understand.

 

[planetgeli]

More often and earlier. One or two Peronis every day, usually starting around
* checks time * now.

Also more weed and hash but that might have to stop soon when I run out.

Goes to fridge.

 

[Numbers]

Same as usual. We have pretty random drinking habits, we can drink every day during the week or no days. Most of our drinking is done at home in normal times anyway, we drink Cava usually, apart from Rum on a Friday. So BAU currently.

 

[extra dry]

One bottle 750mll of Rum in 3 days so trying to ration it out. 4 can s of coke thou getting sugar rush

 

[UnderOpenSky]

It's crept right up again. To the point I can drink more strong beer then I should and wake up feeling fine. I'm still working as well.

Have you checked right at the back of the cupboard under the sink? I think that's where you can normally find some of that.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Probably slightly less as I can't go to the pub, but not by much, and it depends on how anxiety goes. It also hits me harder the next day for some reason, even though I'm not smoking - probably because I'm sleeping badly anyway so the added effects of booze tip it over the edge (I find that sleep disturbance causes far worse next day effects than actual physical hangover).

Saving a shitload on pub prices though!

my tolerance, when tested, appears to be pretty fucking sky high still. am set on not testing it, cycling it in and out as an option...

 

[StoneRoad]

Way less than usual ...

I would usually have some wine, or a posh flavoured cider at the HarbourMaster, on a Saturday night in Whitehaven (alternate weekends. when visiting friend's boat).
Very rarely drink at home anyway, and doing even less atm.

Making up for it with the amount of coffee ... although a lot of the cups are decaf and both variety are less than third "normal" strength. [I don't drink tea]
(During a wellness appointment at docs a few years ago, I admitted that I could drink up to a dozen cups of coffee a day, DR almost choked, until I explained that number would be exceptional and just how weak I have my coffee, I have increased the proportion of decaf ... and if the weather improves I'll be on cooled / bottled water - which I have to watch how I drink because of my TN)

 

[Clair De Lune]

Mines definitely gone up. Usually I drink a little to a lot one night of the weekend but I've been drinking a little almost every night for the last week. Only one hangover so far though but that night I was proper pissed on an empty stomach n tried to get my mate to break the lockdown to come see me..so I'm gonna try to be good from here on in.

 

[bellaozzydog]

Not had a sniff of booze since a guiness in Dublin on 2nd March. This thread has me positively salivating

 

[not-bono-ever]

weed isnt a problem because homegrown. beer is about the same as usual but the temptation son say fuck it, im not in work tomorrow and stay up till 3AM watching obscure stuff is a question i have to wrestle with every night

 

[Thora]

Usually I have a bottle of wine over two nights at the weekend, sometimes don’t, once every couple of months I have a night out.
Already on my 3rd bottle of wine this week so drinking loads more than usual.

 

[Hollis]

I don't really drink at home, so it's not been a problem.. so far. I can see myself having a major blow-out at some point though.

 

[girasol]

I had one small bottle of cider so far being in charge of child stops me during the day and then I'm too tired in the evening anyway, getting only about two hours to relax. I haven't felt like drinking either, I like to drink to celebrate and there's not much to celebrate right now. I think I'd just end up sad/crying if I got drunk. Fuck that.

 

[Clair De Lune]

If anything I've been exercising more and drinking less than usual. And I've not killed a single child. Fuck off.

 

[waxoyl]

been drinking like a bastard at home don't normally drink at home. will not be drinking when this is all over. not even been exercising will try get my shit together
tomorrow.

 

[wtfftw]

My drinking had been changing anyway but I am certainly finding it harder to do one booze night per week.
I was going to drink on Saturday but I am drinking now.

 

[Flavour]

same as usual

 

[N_igma]

About the same maybe a bit more. Friday and Saturday nights we have a few drinks, listen to music and play board games. Yahtzee a big favourite now. I was never one of those ‘one or two beers in the evening’ folks anyway so it’s quite easy for me to spend my week day nights just watching TV and reading books.

 

[JuanTwoThree]

Everybody who put "a bit more" isn't kidding anyone.


I put "a bit more "

Define "a bit more"

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Wellll, I was drinking nothing, and not even smoking. Somehow this thing got me into drinking spirits every night and back on the fags. I think I've only had one day off. Problem now is that I've finished almost everything in the house. I've only got a pointless amount of vodka. . . . And I'm not allowed to the shop as I am more vulnerable

From apx. 13 units per week to apx. 18 units per week by my calculations,

 

[platinumsage]

I am certainly drinking more tea, such that I had to look up the health implications of more than 10 cups/day.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I've gone up to about five beers a week.

Could murder a spliff but I have no viable connections rn

 

[Nanker Phelge]

started this sober....still sober...

 

[Nanker Phelge]

coffee and weed doing for me though....

 

[Looby]

I never drink at home unless we have guests. I’m a binge drinker, nothing for weeks then far far too much in one night.

Last time I drank at all was 6th March where I’m fairly sure I picked up whatever it is I’ve got. I got fucking shitfaced, couldn’t drive for 36 hours and felt terrible.
Got FaceTime drinks with friends tomorrow so might have some rum if I’m feeling up to it but really can’t cope with hanxiety at the moment so won’t get pissed.

i didn't vote, but...

alcohol more than 2/7. sometimes more than a bottle of win, sometimes less. weekly total likely to draw eyebrow raise from gp

overall fitness above average for age last time i checked. otc meds minimal, benzos occasional, sometimes good

(/chipping forecast)

Roughly the same amount of booze and I'm relegated to shitty carling as selection is terribad, my weed intake has exploded though lol.
