a lot, spirits, more, boredom. HELP!
No different unless we are having a special meal then it's a bottle of wine, I enjoy a grey goose or two on weekends Fri,Sat and Sunday from around 8pm
If alcohol was classed as a 'controlled substance'
There would be an awful lot of people in prison!
Im reliant on alcohol as much as other people are reliant on cigarettes, gambling, smoking, shopping, porn, eating, interneting, weed, etc.
I wish I wasnt, but I am.

Interesting how one addiction is somehow better than another addiction?
I don’t like the feeling of alcohol in my system. Also I do not really like the taste of any wine, most beers, and all spirits. So the last 12 months, none.
Pre covid... most weeks only drink one day a week(around a dozen pints)
Sometimes that could be two days but quite rare nowadays.
I don't drink spirits, nasty stuff. Do drink the odd bottle of wine at home.
Hardly had a drop during lockdown.
I drink alcohol to have a good time.
Not a big drinker, but like a glass of wine every now and again. Always have a drink when I go out for a meal, but that's not happened for a while now ! I haven't drank more because of lockdown.
I gave up spirits a couple of years ago as they go straight to my head, so I just drink white wine now, that’s it.
I drink too much but no more than pre-lockdown, mainly at home but I guess I have added to Chancellor Sushi's excise windfall (+£850 mln than forecast). However, I can switch off to Adam's Ale anytime you want....like tomorrow. Wine is my 'downfall' and then the occasional T&T or a good single malt scotch.
I usually drink just a few units of alcohol per week.

It's about a week since I had the second half of a bottle of wine, which was several days after I'd drunk the first half. You'd probably have to go back another week or so to find when I last had a drink before that which, if I recall correctly, would have been a couple of cans of lager.

As indicated above, I tend to drink either beer or wine. I do like spirits but I rarely drink them. (I bought half a bottle of rum at Christmastime. I've still got two thirds of it left. It's much the same if I buy a bottle of whisky; it can last me a year or even longer).

I enjoy drinking alcohol most in a pub, where it's mainly for the social interaction but, even then, I don't go mad. I'll just have two or, at the very most, three pints of real ale. (In the months before the first lockdown, I was generally only going to a pub on Sunday evenings, to do a few crosswords with a couple of mates. As I had to drive to get there, I was only drinking Coke or coffee most of the evening but possibly finishing off the night with just half a pint of bitter).

In my younger days though I was drinking far more. For example, back in the 1980s I was probably consuming around 60 units of alcohol per week. Going further back, to my college days, the figure would have been even higher.

So, as all the foregoing should indicate, lockdown hasn't really affected me much as far as alcohol consumption is concerned.
Oh, and by the way, never during the day.
Just couldn't during the day, I'd be asleep by tea time
I very rarely drink. Last time I met up with friends was when lockdown was eased during summer. I had two mocktails then one alcoholic one. At £10 a go I stopped there and went home.
Red or white wine. Mainly white. Usually by a bottle on a Friday, and will last till Sunday night. 3 nights.
Buy!..
In all honesty- I was an alcoholic from about 12-18, then teetotal until about 40.
I did (due to my partner) start lightly drinking again about 5 years ago. But have now recently stopped, as it did get out of control again.
It seems, I can't do anything by halves.
Two bottles of red French wine a day.
average quota for a Frenchman, Atheist, but a little excessive for a Brit!
DTC; French, Brit. No difference. We're all human.
DTC; do you eat meat?
probably 1 or 2 units a week.
