Bazle Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Alcohol: has your intake gone up, gone down, or remained the same during the lock-down? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post galenkia Posted April 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2020 Still alcohol free 👍 Though I can imagine people drinking more out of boredom. 8 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 When I came home, I had a pre booked tesco delivery. They delivered 3 boxes of cans of tonic to go with the gin I had at home. Every morning I look at them and think a g+t would be nice, and promising myself one that evening. Every evening i forget about it.... Does that make me a forgetful alcoholic?

boydeste Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I have been good since being home, nearly 3 weeks now. Only had 11 bottles of red wine in the house so have tried to only drink at the weekends, so far so good. I too just put an order in to Fullers for a beer and wine delivery thanks to the link given on another thread. When that arrives I will drink my first beer for a month so will be well up for it my then. Sticking to the weekends has enabled me to maintain my weight loss, so all's good. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rompho Ray Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 WELL down. Normally, minimum of 5 nights a week in the pub, at least 5 pints per night and closer to 10 on weekends. Now, 3-6 12oz beers most nights. Bank account numbers reflecting that reality clearly. Clothes fitting a bit better too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clothes fitting a bit better too. I'm probably the same. Don't keep alcohol in the house normally- not bothered about drinking at home. Love proper pubs and decent ale- on average 3/4 times a week. Just having my last beer of the evening at home- 4th of 330 ml cans spread over 3.5 hours.(treating myself as it's a Friday- normally stop at 3 cans 🙂). Can happily sit at home and sip a beer, a can/bottle last me an hour. In a pub knocking back 568 ml pints, comfortably 4/5 pints on a regular night, higher on a bigger one-would be dead though if I got to 10 😮 So overall my consumption is down Anecdotal but from my circle of pals, the guys who seem to be really caning it the lads who for various reasons normally drink at home. They seem to be going at the wine, spirits and beers apace. Good thread- current times are likely to throw up a whole load of health issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegrogmonster Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Probably about the same. I also very rarely drink at home as I like the bullshit and banter that occurs at my local pub and club. One thing I find about drinking alone at home is that I think too much about unnecessary shit where at the pub I am engaged in conversation.

Mr. Smooth Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 While on a 2 week self quarantine, I didn't drink at all the first week as I normally dry out after returning home from a trip where I had drank quite a bit. Second week, took me the whole week to finish a bottle of Captain Morgan rum with coke and lime juice. Also had a few bottles of Pacifico beer, This week, being back to work and a bit more normalcy in my daily life, I've gotten home and enjoyed that after work beer or two each evening. And I need to buy another bottle of rum this weekend. And more lime juice. Think I'll go with Sailor Jerry Rum this time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPK Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I never usually drink in the house but my brother dropped off a case of Modelo on Monday and i finished it last night. First time tasting it and its pretty decent, i've just been having a few beers each night watching tv. I got another 2 case getting ordered from amazon and they will be here Monday, I will be glad when I get the phonecall for going back to work. Its too easy to sit and have a few beers every night with no work 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend most of the time lately when the pub was opened trying to talk the barstaff sisters 22-24 yrsold in learning the great enjoyment for them awaits if only they ventured around my shack for a quiet few hours watching the porn I have. they didn't seem to believe me,oh! well another bundie on the BBQ. regards grayray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
