Have you been drinking more or less since quarantine stared?

Way more, but I'm still off. I'm starting work back on tuesday, which means no more alcohol unless it's the weekend (and I don't work the day after).
Drinking and smoking weed too much to kill the boredom when I'm not trying to work out or quitting game playthroughs halfway through.
Definitely less, I just don't have that kind of "hard day" feeling anymore. The taste and feeling of a stiff drink or glass of wine is not as good when I'm not all tense and worn out, which usually was a product of my horrible commute on the bus and subway. Now that I'm studying from home I'm kinda loose all the time.
Still have wine or a beer with dinner and stuff here and there, or make a cocktail for some late-night video gaming. But I definitely am drinking less and when I do it's usually like "why not" rather than "need a fucking drink."

I would normally go out drinking 5-7 days a week. Since the stay at home mandate, I haven't had a single drop of alcohol. But I've been eating cookies which I never did before. Damn sugar cravings.

No but my eating has started to spiral out of control. I need to go on a diet again to lose the 8 pounds i gained during quarantine. Shit sucks.
Way more. I would drink maybe once every couple of months and I'm getting 6 packs almost every time I hit the grocery store. I grabbed a bottle of Eagle Rare for my internet D&D campaign tonight.
More but not like, excessively. A glass of wine once or twice a week was generally where I was before, with cocktail night maybe once a month after a rough week. But every week right now is kinda hair pulling so Friday cocktails are weekly at this point.
Anywhere fine alcohol products are sold. Liquor stores are considered essential in NY and grocery stores sell beer.
Chicago has extremely strict rules on when you can go to liquor stores at this point and I work from 9:30 to 6 every day. I don't really have the opportunity.
Hmmm. Maybe you can do a Instacart order or something while at work.
Not drinking since drinking by myself has always weirded me out. I am smoking a lot more weed know though.
My girlfriend and I drink every night. We dont get drunk, but we'll have a beer and a cocktail or two after dinner usually.
First week or so was bad though, haha. Start drinking by 1 and keep going til at least midnight.

Roughly the same as before, which is still a bit too much. I dont drink on mondays, and then on average about two beers per night on the other days, though I don't get tipsy at any point. I'm very lucky my wife is pregnant, or we'd definitely have gone on a bender from the start of quarantine. Especially with the weather being as nice as it is my cocktail spirit is playing up again.
Quarantine is really getting to me. I am probably up to the point of drinking a handle of Tito's every 2 weeks
More. I just left a place where 3 and a half years out of 4 were some of the best times of my professional career. At my new job, I am forced to take 5 mandatory PTO days for the first 5 weeks working for them, as well as forced to come on campus when 95% of the job can be done at home for answering phone calls remotely. I also took a pay cut to leave my last employer. My mother is my roomate and I worry that I'm going to give her Covid-19 and she will die. She just turned 69. I don't really want to die either, I guess. Professionally, I thought I would be further. I worked my ass off on IT certs, but I don't think they made a fucking difference. The older I get, the more cynical I become. I can't believe how many assholes there are out there. If Trump wins in November, I think I'm going to drink until I don't wake up. I almost did that on election night 2016. I wonder if I should have kept drinking.
More on weekdays, less on weekends. Used to have 1-2 a night on weekdays, and it's become 2-3. Weekends though I would typically go out to the bar and have 6-10 one weekend day, and maybe 4-6 the other weekend day. That's cut back drastically and while I still miss it and the social aspects my wallet doesn't.
I've had beer twice since this started, and noting in two whole calendar weeks.
I have some beer waiting for me in the fridge so I'm going to enjoy some in the next few days but I'm glad I cut way back. Been focusing a lot on nutrition because it's hard for me to do much in the way of exercise right now, even down a few pounds.

I've been supporting the local breweries around here by buying growlers. So I'd say I'm drinking more.
More wine, less beer, because no open pubs and no football parties, but more common dinners with the missus.
