I'm been drinking more than normal in the pandemic. At the start of the pandemic, it was a way to signal the end of the work day - I'd have a couple beers every night. We started having online social gatherings too (game nights, video calls), in which I'd drink pretty heavily (4-6 tall boys). I'd then have leftover beers in the fridge from a Friday, and those would be drunk over the next weekend. Rinse repeat every week, and it's anywhere from $40-$100 per week in craft beer. I've started to cut back though - kept it pretty junior high on my last games night and just drank some pop. I've actually started getting bored with the aspect of drinking heavily lately, but still enjoy craft beers and the unique tastes that they have. I'm going to be cutting it out completely in 2021 (need to lose some weight, and cutting carbs is my easiest way to do so).
Weed is more or less used a sleep aid (couple times a month), but I might give some more edibles and drinks a shot. Seems to be a more healthy alternative to alcohol.
