Not a bad time to stop drinking altogether and spend the time and money to something else? Some say that it takes 3 weeks to change habits, good or bad.

I can put up with the stay-at-home order, curfew, mask, social distancing, no mass gatherings, etc. But at least let me have a beer in the comfort of my own home!! 34 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some say live your own life. I believe it's a fact, that there is no alcohol sales until further notice. We can't change that by talking here. But what each of us can do, is to direct our eagerness to drink beer to something else. We have to do that, no matter what. It would be nice to hear what kind of hobbies people have started or continued because of the current and continuing situation.
