Do you still see it as the reserve of the weekend (if you still have any sense of time) or are you drinking more often?

Never.

I don't drink alcohol at home unless there's an occasion really.

I've only used alcohol in cooking over the past 2 months (two steak and ale pies, turned out very nicely :pipe:)

Most days although I'm still drinking less than normal because of the pubs being closed

I had been drinking a lot more but the whole lockdown thing has started to take a toll on me mentally so I’ve been avoiding the stuff for about a week now just to feel a bit more in control and I plan on avoiding it until well after lockdown is over.

I'm not a big drinker, I only drink at home when I'm having people over. Since we locked down I've only drunk once and it just felt pointless.

I generally don't drink at all any more (weddings, stag parties, MAYBE a "big" birthday like someone's 30th/40th) but even back when I was "a drinker", I've never liked drinking at home. So... never.

In fact the last time I had a drink at all was September 2018?? What the ****??? I thought it was LAST September :umm2:. I thought it was a wedding 6 months ago but it turns out that was actually 18 months ago. This is sort of worrying, I've lost a year somewhere... ummm...

I've ticked 'very occasionally/never', but obviously I'm not drinking at all right now.

I gave it up after I overdosed on Pills and Alcohol a few years ago when I was in a bad place. There’s been moments out of boredom where I have felt tempted, but still going strong. :)

Sorry to hear that BL, good to hear you are in a better place now :clap1:

Pretty normal, I am working through the week as normal so all structure has not gone out the window

I’ve had a few drinks now and again but I just don’t enjoy drinking in the house most of the time, it just feels like empty calories and quite pointless.

Same as before:shrug: no more and no less, but usually like a drink with dinner.

When lockdown first started I was drinking most days of the week and I still am drinking a fair bit now. Lately when I’ve been in work tho I’ve been feeling more tired than usual and I reckon this could be something to do with it so I think now I’m gonna just try and stick to drinking on Fri, Sat & Sunday nights instead.

A couple of bottles isn’t the smallest lot.

I drink Thursday to Saturdays normally. 4 off and 3 on. Now I start on a Wednesday but it’s no more than a few cans of beer these days. I’ve cut out spirits and even wine.

Yh I mean sometimes on a Thursday I’ll have a drink but because I’m working the next day I’ll only have a few cans of beer. Lately tho I’ve been drinking on days I wouldn’t normally and I wanna try and get back to just having a drink on the weekends again.
