Does white wine really get you drunk the fastest? Is it cause it's easier to drink than some other hard drinks so you drink a lot of it fast? The few times I had white wine it didn't even do thaaat much for me, although I'll drink like barely a few glasses of it. Good you didn't do it just cause you HAVE TO beat Daniel

Yeah idk why it's so hard to get this testing done but at least there's drive thrus for it now so improvement. Nah it's the same friend that was sick with his fiance. She's pretty fine (not better but not worse) but he's feeling rough now so he's paranoid he does have it. They didn't even test him at the hospital despite having symptoms. I guess that's how little tests are available right now. All they checked was to make sure he didn't have pneumonia (idk if that's the spelling?)

You gonna try to stay with a friend? Or just seeing how it goes day by day until it happens?

I guess I'll have to find another place if it does close, but it's such a mess because there are no like 'official' rules or decisions being made yet so it means we just have to wait around.

Lmao yeah if you go in there without it you're SURE AS HELL gonna come out with it after

White wine bc that's what gets me drunk the fastest I was honestly REALLY close to drinking tonight bc I've been stressed out about everything but I didn't do it I think it'll be done for a while, although I saw people drinking it in the bar this evening apparently because they gave it out for free

Yeah it was only done today... we've just been 'advised' to not go to them before and people should 'work from home if possible'. Wowww they're definitely doing more there but then that's a LOT of cases
Mess that sounds bad Is this another different friend now? That's kinda worrying though, it sounds like it's pretty intense. Hopefully he doesn't have it though. I think we're in the process of getting ready to be able to test ourselves or something.

Idk if I would trust going to corona testing drive thrus. I feel like I'd contract the virus there if anything But if he/anyone has really bad symptoms I guess they should go

Oh those are closing just now??? Lol all of that has BEEN closed for days/a week. Restaurants have only takeout and 8:00 curfew. They're going a step further in New York now. All "non-essential" businesses are demanded to have people work from home starting Monday or shut down if working from home isn't possible. 8,300 cases in NY this morning, doubled since yesterday. Btw my friend who works in NYC told me he was in bad shape last night, like flu-like "can't breathe" type symptoms and when he went to his doctor they said he didn't have the flu so he should really go get checked for the coronavirus. They finally added corona testing drive thrus in NJ today so he's going there tomorrow (it already hit the max testing for today). Hopefully he doesn't have it

Ahhh damn @ your hostel closing... what are you gonna do when it closes?

Which drink do you crave when you get an urge? (but I won't mention any more, I'd assume it probably doesn't help thinking about alcohol). Why are so many people ACTUALLY done with Corona just cause of the name? ffff Corona better not really be done or else I'm DONE with beer!

Oooop actually possible It was sooo weird because I didn't even know anybody else who had it at the time even in the room/hostel that I was staying in

Here for the social support Yeah I know what you mean... because I barely go to them and drink mostly inside I deeefinitely get urges sometimes, but honestly lately I haven't THAT much considering it's been over a week. I've sort of put it out of my mind and I'm trying to focus on other things and it's working pretty well I think right now. Corona beer is literally DONE forever after this mess

Boris just announced that all the pubs/bars/theatres/gyms etc will be closing... have they closed there yet or are they just advising you not to go there??

Edit: Also my hostel is probably closing apparently...

Ahhh yeah I’ve heard about that here too. Not you being one of the early corona infected and started spreading it around

Lol you need a partner to get you through it But it’s partly due to not going out as much lately (or to clubs etc. at all). I’m not too bothered not drinking or smoking either, like it’s just sometimes/randomly I’ll get the urge but that’s more if I’m out with people, otherwise I’m good. And I haven’t even felt the urge lately at all, not even for a Corona despite all the corona talk. How are you doing with it at this point? Getting any urges?

My mom is the same as well but I've tried to tell her to chill out about it It's weird though bc my nan isn't worried about it and she's still going out etc which is totally dumb. But yeah anyone over like 70~ I'd say should worry

Also do you remember when I wrote that I was in bed with like the flu for days back in January or something?? There's loads of talk online about lots of people having something similar and everyone is thinking it was corona

I also haven't smoked weed for at least a couple of weeks now There was just one night where I had like 4 cigarettes full on in a row which I neeever do so that was a nice hit. OOP @ you quittin drinkin with me Do you wanna do either or are you not really bothered?

Oh okay, makes sense. Yeah I think we do have it (although maybe not in some of the newspapers in London) but I'd never heard of that word before My parents just used to call it 'the deaths'

Yeah maybe I’ll get used to it. Loool my family & one of my friends in particular were like paaanicking about it days ago but then they’ve all like simultaneously calmed about it now, at least somewhat. Tbf my grandma does have reason to worry, she’s in her 80’s

Damn I haven’t done ANY drinking or smoking in the past few weeks (smoked prob like 2 weeks ago tho but feels like longer since I was starting to like every week, sometimes more than once, just before that and that’s a lot for me ). Have you still been smoking weed at all while you stopped drinking?? Enjoy it!

And that’s like a section of the newspaper to report deaths basically. I’ve never actually SEEN it because I rarely ever look through the paper. Do they not have it in the Uk?
