Yeah I’ve been drinking probably every day for weeks. Not a ton, but like 2-3 per night most nights. Usually I run home from work (about 11.5-12.7 miles depending on route) and don’t drink because it’s too when I get home. Now I can day drink after getting both of my daily runs completed by like 2pm. Whisky bill be getting expensive for real though.
Apologies for misspellings due to being lightly toasted at the moment, actually.
just start smoking weed
it's better
thanks for sharing. I'm in the same boat; feeling like running is no longer enough to manage the stress of life and general anxiety.
In the beginning of this pandemic I was so stressed out, I was actually drinking less. But now I have kind of settled in and I'm definitely drinking more. It doesn't help that my wife is definitely losing her mind. She's insisting on MOVING as soon as possible and wants to purchase a home in Miami ($600,000). I told her, let's wait a year, it'll be half that price!
For years I felt that I was a borderline functioning alcoholic but never addressed it because nothing bad ever happened. I went to work, exercised, socialized, etc. My drinking has now increased. Increased in frequency and volume. I start earlier and end later. I don't even know how to put into words how disappointed I am with myself. Yesterday I purchased 2 weeks worth of groceries and alcohol. Our area may soon be a hot spot so we are encouraged to not even go to the grocery store unless absolutely necessary. I told myself I would ration the booze. I didn't buy a lot. I did that on purpose to force me to cut back. Two 6-packs (7% alc beer) and a fifth of liquor. And here I am on Day 2 and will probably run out tonight.

Good for you , you sing well and you are keeping essential businesses going in this crisis. Maybe you are even helping the liquor store owner earn this so-called "hero pay" . The next bottle should be on him.
I quit drinking 1/15 to train for a 5/3 marathon. Marathon was cancelled 3/13. I didn’t start drinking again. Playing the guitar more.
Its more important not to smoke: ciggies, weed, vaping...as covid attacks the lungs.

This is a problem. Are you drinking all day?

No change really. I still drink a normal 5-10 drinks a day. Slightly more on the weekend. Only difference is they are spread out over a longer period of time.
Whoa...that sounds like an enormous amount of alcohol if you’re being serious. That is not good for you at all.

I agree marijuana is not beneficial to most people, but the #1 killer of all time? I don’t follow.
No drinking here. Too many empty calories and makes me feel like crap after even a single beer. I may or may not use a tiny amount of high CBD cannabis though.
Mileage is up and my running has never been better

Be careful though, especially if "even a single beer" has such a devastating impact on you well-being.
