What an interesting thread. Huh.
I'm a beer drinker, but also a social drinker. So I've actually drank significantly less during the pandemic. At first I was going on House Party and getting wasted with the boys, but that only last a week or two.
My weed intake is about the same. At first, I would smoke during the day while working but that proved to be very unproductive as Netflix, DIY house projects, Xbox, doing anything BUT work seems a lot more fun while high. So now its the odd beer when watching what little sports there are, and evening marijuana usage. Typically a couple bong rips (big bong full of ice is a game changer for those who don't like to smoke).
As I've gotten older, I have drank less and less. The hangovers, dehydration, etc all just get worse. A night of drinking is a guaranteed wasted day the next day and that just bothers me. Where as with weed, both the benefit and any downfalls are the same as when I was 20 years younger.
One thing that I've discovered during the pandemic is Psilocybin mushroom edibles. While not legal, I believe its only a matter of time. But I've always thought Mushrooms were the best drug out there. All the hard stuff is both brutal and lame in my opinion. Anyways, for $40 you can get a mushroom chocolate bar with 6 doses. For me 2 doses is the way to go, and that lasts about 3-4 hours. Really enjoyable if in the right mood and situation.
