My late husband has a cousin who has openly admitted to using alcohol (during the day) to help her cope with her crappy existence. She's also using it to help with chronic belly pain.
She's looking for work and seeing a doctor about the belly pain, so not sure how much longer she can drink like this.

We have seen several Alcohol Wine commercials and it was a sign up and we deliver. Whoa! Can you imagine for those who are trying to stay sober how much of a hard time they must have—knowing the possibility of having alcohol delivered to their door!! What a challenge. I feel bad for them. Alcohol door dash during the pandemic. How convenient? I know not everyone is trying to stay sober or even realizes how hard it is to do so.
It would be pretty tempting if I knew how easy I could have a bottle of wine at my door, and I was trying to quit.
Got me to thinking! So I looked. There are even wine, beer and booze apps you can download ! I just learned that right now - wow!
alcohol apps. Just what we need. ?
Interestingly, the no/low alcohol space is expected to grow 30%+ in 2021 per an industry study across 10 countries. Drivers include health consciousness and weight loss goals, especially from millennials. I was researching this for work recently, so thanks for bumping this topic. It surprised me a bit at first, but the more I read into the idea of scaling back while still enjoying a cocktail, the more the runner in me bought into the idea.
Seven years later, I think people drink less but they are near hopelessly addicted to the internet. Not sure there is a gain here.
I truly wish more than anything that I could agree that people are drinking less. I’ve seen too many people take the worst turns with alcohol during this transit. The lives of some mutables I know have been completely upended by alcohol during this transit. Losses of nearly anything and everything you can think of.
The battle is horrible to witness, and while there have been periods of small gains on this front in the lives of the people I’m thinking of, its really one of the worst things you can watch someone go through.
After seeing it, there’s no comparison to this level of drug and alcohol addiction. It’s lethal, poisons the environment, and is so easy to get. Just fucking heartbreaking.
I think zoomers are not heavy drinkers that I've seen. Caffiene!
