Apocalypse Alcohol Consumption?

[skihacker]

Drinking a little more than i used to might just push me into the excessive category.........

[BraceMaker]

Extra time at home has resulted in 2 batches of home brew in the kegerator. It's been over a year since I kegged. (I keg my own seltzer water all year to avoid buying la Croix)

[thager]

I have had one beer since the social distancing spiel began. Nothing to celebrate!

[Nando]

I have a friend who owns a liquor store/wine shop- business is up 150%

[MattP]

Have not had a drink or takeout in 30+ days. Time for a good reset. Down lots of lbs. almost back to fighting weight.

[Wayne]

What ever happened to Kilo Kai? Has it fallen out of popularity?

[swc5150]

My current wine consumption is helping keep the Wagner Family solvent.

[BlueSki]

I am drinking more, but in moderation, and working out more, so no weight gain, just a stronger liver and body.

[lakeaustinskier]

I'm getting more exercise therefore I figure I can drink more. Currently perfecting my Mexican Martini recipe.

[Bruce_Butterfield]

Need to be able to select more than one option. I drink the same AND my liver is begging for mercy.

 

@MattP its nice to be young!

I am homeschooling an 8 year old and 13 year old while my wife and I both try to run businesses....hers is in retirement planning, so she is basically a therapist right now...I own a travel agency and motorcoach company that does a lot of sports teams, senior citizens and corporate work...so...I basically just take cancellations and post memes on Facebook.

 

Umm...ya...my liver isn't begging for mercy...it is putting its arm around my shoulder and pouring me the drink.

 

[lpskier]

My wife, however, is endangering the blue agave plant.

[Chad_Scott]

I’m with @Bruce_Butterfield we need more options. Liver also begging for mercy.

[Horton]

I have a college student living at my house who is appalled by my alcohol consumption. that alone should tell you a lot

[Cam]

Since I retired I have tried not to drink midweek, doesn't always work but it is a plan as it is just too easy for every night to be a Saturday night.

[RazorRoss3]

I stopped drinking about a year ago in an attempt to be healthier and lose some weight for skiing. After losing 6 pounds in a couple of weeks I decided there was something to it and just never started again. I was honestly surprised because I thought I’d miss it but never really did.

[The_MS]

A good Hazy still tastes great

[skidawg]

Work the same (a lot), Ride the same (a ton) Drink the same plus 10%.....may have to start skiing again! Really get the plate full

[Chef23]

We drink a little more because my kids are both home and in their early 20s so we hang out on Friday and Saturday nights and have some drinks with them which is great but definitely leading to more drinking. We try to keep the drinking during the rest of the week down.

After a recent stay in the hospital, the nice young nurse and I came to the logical conclusion that higher alcohol consumption would have to kill the virus. So therefore.......

[skihacker]

Us Irish have known this for millennia........oh it's on

[sodbuster88]

Three of us now working from home and two of us are drinking a lot more starting at mid-day. I never thought an afternoon brew was at all practical while at the office. But I like it. They say it takes 21 days to both form and/or break a habit. The future looks a bit scary when we get to go back to the office since we are now in week four.

[Than_Bogan]

Dropped from "not much" to zero.

[swc5150]

Our WI governor just extended our sentence until the end of May. I’ll have spent enough on booze to buy an old 80’s ski boat before this ends:(

[lkb]

Corpse Revivers to the rescues...

[Bulldog]

There is not enough gin in the world for me right now....

[oldmanskier]

I do not drink. I have a hard time controlling my fried chicken cravings. Drinking for me would not be good.

[oldjeep]

Drinking is probably better for you than fried chicken ;)

[LoopSki]

Found a great Hazy outdoor beer. Its yummy

 

 

[lkb]

Hemingway Daiquiris to the rescue...damn they’re good.

[cougfan]

@LoopSki just saw your post and had to say this. 10 Barrel is a really cool brewery in Bend, Oregon. Made a trip there a few years during fresh hop season. What a great time to visit this town! There are something like 20-30 breweries located there. Tried like heck to visit as many as I could in the 3 days I spent there. Finally cried uncle?This town is a great vacation spot snow skiing in the winter and hiking ,mountain biking and kayaking in the summer. High desert area so pretty much good weather most of the time

[dthate]

I have been searching for it in Austin, no luck so far. If anyone knows....

 

My local favorite is Electric Jellyfish by Pinthouse, best hazy juicey beer EVER, hoping they will reopen this weekend, damn corona beer virus

[Orlando76]

Going on week seventwentieth. Can I change my vote? Pole started too early.

[Orlando76]

 

[gcam4]

There is nothing better than concierge ABC stores and drive thru breweries!

[jhughes]

You know, initially during this I thought that craft beer would be generally a good thing as far as being a "hey at least one thing is great every day, BEER!" during this crisis. So the first 7 weeks have been heavy-ish.

 

Now I'm going the other way. There's no better time than now to cut back. No bars, no restaurants, no parties, no bowling league, etc. No excuses. Sick and tired of feeling tired an anxious and sleeping like crap.

 

Doing a little scientific reading of the effects of alcohol on the body and mind and it's staggering data.
