Have you been drinking more or less since quarantine stared?

I used to drink very rarely. Now maybe a lit bit more but still very little (which is like 60cl of cider per week). Getting drunk should be avoided by all.
More the last two weeks of my 4 week wfh order. Mostly though that's because we bought more than we should have considering my partner can only ever finish half a drink typically. This is probably the first week I've had a drink nearly everyday since I bought a giant cocktail book a almost a decade ago.
I don't drink at home ever so less. I also think this pandemic is going to create a lot of alcoholics. Don't think the quarantini's are a good idea for some people.
I've done next to no drinking ever since the shelter in place began. I'm strictly a social drinker and I've made a personal pledge to never drink alone (personal reasons) so I've had no reason to drink.
Little odd since I was bartending before my bar closed down due to everything 🤷‍♀️

It is a really tough time for all.

A lot less. I drank the night FFVII Remake came out, and about two weeks prior after a particularly long and hard shift working from home.
1. This is all depressing enough, I don't need to add day drinking and a hangover on top of it
2. I am still working from home, on-call a lot, so I need to stay sober as much as possible
3. I am not trying to go to a liquor store during a pandemic. Delivery services / contractors like TaskRabbit is weird about delivering liquor here because it's all state controlled

Tell me what I should drink. I have plenty of different boozes and I think I'll have something when my farmer's pie is done. What cocktail should I put together?
Less. But much more better stuff. Other Half, Finback, and Singlecut all deliver to my Astoria apartment. Awesome breweries, being safe and dropping off at the front door in the worst hit borough/town/neighborhood in the world. Drinking way less shit beer like Rolling Rock (my old go to). I never buy hard liquor for home use, so with the bars being closed I haven't had the hard stuff in a month +.
Less. I only ever drink hanging out with friends. Over the last month I've been in isolation I think I've had six beers.
More. A lot more. For the several months prior to this I had cut back quite a bit, but since this started I have been drinking like crazy
The occasional end-of-week beer. About on par. I miss the pub, even though that was a fairly rare venture for me.
Liquor stores are still open here. Even the 24 hour ones. I guess it's "essential"
I drive home from work around midnight and they're all still open. I'd be lying if I haven't taken advantage of it myself.
Less only because I can't head out to my favorite places. I don't keep a lot of alcohol in the house because I'm only a social drinker. No social = no drinking really.
Because of the way Sweden is handling this, I am not in quarantine. However as I am in a risk group I have decided myself to self isolate indefinitely.
I haven't had a drop of alcohol in the past month. I have beer in the fridge but I am too wary about getting unhealthy. I am actually eating better and exercising (Ring Fit Adventure) to such a point that my gut appears to have got smaller (I don't weight msyelf and don't have scales, so I don't know if I have "gone down in weight", but I'd assume I have).
Edit:
I just looked it up. The last time I drank was at a work even on March 12th. That was a thursday and I started working from home the following monday.

I typically only drink when I go out, and tended to drink a lot when doing so. I never used to drink at home alone.
I'm now 4.5 weeks into self isolation, and having a couple of drinks in the evening, every evening. On balance I don't really think I'm drinking more in total than I was going out multiple times a week. Hopefully, when this ends I don't end up in the habit of drinking at home alone AND then when I go out.

I'm staying at my aunt's who's extremely religious and also paranoid and insane so I can't drink or she'd probably kick me out of the house.
