Default How’s your drinking been this lockdown?

Similar’s probably been made across different lockdown periods but it’s bound to be affecting some people a little harder during the third lockdown. Are you drinking as usual (whatever those limits are) or has it been on the up (or down)?

In the beginning of the first lockdown, I was drinking more than normal and having wine during the week....mainly out of boredom. Now I only drink as I did pre-lockdown which was only at weekends

Just normally or slightly less. I don't do dry January or anything like that as I think its better to look after health all year round, I am working as normal so being in lockdown isn't really affecting me as such apart from not being able to physically see friends

Was drinking way more than I should be from March-December with a little break in the summer so making a conscious effort to cut down considerably in 2021 starting with Dry Jan!
