More.....lol....but since I didn't drink a whole lot before the lock-down anyway, I think my liver will survive.
 
Drinking more tea :)
 
I used to have a couple pours 3 days a week, now it is the same pours but 5 days a week. I think it has a lot to do about cooking on the grill just about every night.
 
More, but that’s a relative term. I’m “up” to maybe 2 beers (pints) a night. My bourbon consumption is actually down from 3-4 nights a week to near zero.

I’ve been frequenting the many (oh, so many) local breweries for growlers fills. I figure it’s my way of contributing to the local economy.

For the Hendersonville area folks...the Black Cherry IPA and the Jalapeño infused Pilsner at Dry Falls are both freaking amazing. And the Serrano Chili infused from Southern Appalachian hits fast with the pepper then mellows, oh so good.

The same, or maybe less actually. I am spending more time cooking and cleaning.

What fun is that?!!!
 
Less, have multiple factors that would bring about a bad outcome so I don't need to push my luck any farther.

It won't go bad!
 
I'm spending more time at my forge so that comes with less alcohol. The two don't mix well.
 
More... Except today. Ive been doing a lot of work around the house......and beer makes it not so bad. Today its raining....so no work outside.
 
More, but still not much. Wife and I are doing a monthly Shaker and Spoon box to try new cocktail recipes.
 
A little disappointed that I am actually drinking less.

Getting a LOT of infrastructure work done around the homestead.

But the main reason is a sinus surgery that I was supposed to get the last week of March which of course was indefinitely postponed by UNC.

Until I get the surgery I'll still be having pretty frequent and severe and long lasting headaches.

The alcohol and subsequent smoke from tobacco and the firebowl all exacerbate the problem.

And I've learned over the past year or so that I can take one of my pain pills or drink but I most certainly SHOULD NOT do both at the same time.

Sucks getting old.
 
LOL like @thrillhill , I am drinking less. My wife is drinking more to make up for it.

I have been to busy working the problem to try drinking it away.

Eating a lot more. I get bored and eat. Only on weekends I drink more. My neighbor moved back into his house(his wife didn’t come back) so we are grilling and drinking more on the weekends. During the week my one beer with dinner.
 
Not drinking any more and not drinking any less. Just business as usually guess thats the joys of being deemed essential.

I had sinus surgery when I was a senior in high school. It wasn't a pleasant experience but it was well worth it. I had pollops removed that were completely blocking a sinus cavity. If you haven't talked to anyone who's had it, and want to know what to expect, let me know.

Same here- essentially not drinking at all.
But I'm doing a lot of job searching and working at the barn on projects I previously didn't have time to do.
I don't plan to go back to my previous employer if I can help it.

I work 7 on/7 off. This past week off with the weather being so nice mine has increased a bit. Been doing a lot of work outside around the house, a drink and cooking some dinner is a nice way to end the day.
 
I drink less but I graduated to snorting a cocktail of aspirin, wasabi, sweet - N - low, and cocoa powder ..... So there's that.

I used to have a couple stiff ones (no jokes please) every other night. But I find myself having a couple stiff ones every night now. I keeping thinking this (corona close down) is just a nightmare that I cant seem to wake up from.

My sinus are killing me right now. I've never been one to take any medication so when I have a Benadryl I all but pass out just from that. My wife picks on me about it, she said she's seen me drink beer for 24 hours straight and never show a sign of it, but take one pill that's ok for children to take and I'm sleeping standing up.
 
I am drinking less. I hardly ever drink at home unless I have company and that is not often since we both work a lot. I've always had this little man in the back of my mind that said if you start drinking alone it will lead to alcoholism. Since we don't go out, its just a beer here and there. When I lived in Chesterfield County I had to drink every day just to survive my in-laws! At least one here knows what I mean.
