I took up home cocktail making as my Covid hobby, so I'll have to say I have been drinking more. However I still only drink on Fridays and weekends, and even then I'll only make up to 2 drinks a night.
I'm really fortunate that I didn't get the Asian flush passed down to me and my tolerance is really high. I previously enjoyed beers but I'm finding my taste is changing as I get older. Beers seem to hoppy for my taste so I switched to ciders and radlers instead. I also use to collect scotches before switching over to gin because it was cheaper to accumulate.
I never drink to get drunk as I drink to enjoy. Also no drugs for me, knew I needed a security clearance when I was growing up so I never started.

Fever Tree is pricey for what it is, but it is less sweat than the generic Canada Dry. They do have some unique flavours of tonic water though.
I know some people that swear by the Soda stream tonic, but I haven't tried it.
There are some ultra premium tonic syrup brands too that are really good, but generally I try to let the gin stand by itself and use soda water and a squeeze of lime instead
