"I think i drank more at first but now i drink less. I did nick a can off hubby tonight though as it was my first day back at work and i'm tired   "
Same, I started off drinking more, and buying drinks I hadn't tried before as something to look forward to after work.
Then a couple of weekends ago I got really d*unk and had the most horrendous hangover, that's brought my alcohol consumption right back down. |

"Anyone drinking far to much .... "
I'm wouldn't say far too much but I have d*unk slightly more but then I used to go to the pub a couple of times a month so it may just look like it's more because it's filling up my recycling bin |

Flavoured Gin did the same to me. Slowed right down after that. |

"Yeah, drinking too much really. Not going to worry about it though."
I'd suggest worry is a pointless negative emotion
However I would also suggest that it should concern you enough to take control
Just remember why you pour great disdain upon those addicted to morphine, crack,methamphetamine, cannabis??
Please take my tone correctly
Not one of condemnation or disdain but one of careful this drug sneaks up on you and destroys your mind and health if not very alert 
Bravado bragging is not cool or at least no cooler than Renton in train spotting cooking up to numb the pain x |

That's exactly what I was drinking too! I've not been that d*unk for a long time, it was awful. |

If you're concerned about your drinking OP maybe aim for one or couple of dry nights a week, something doable.
If you're just drinking because it's become a habit maybe try some of the alcohol free beers available , the Brewdog Nanny State is a good one the Bud Black isn't bad . AF beers are much better than they used to be. ASDA from memory has a good selection.
Or maybe aim for five beers a night rather than six and gradually bring it down.
Hope that helps.
You wont be alone in drinking more than you used to in lockdown.

If I thought I was developing problem with alcohol I would probably take it more seriously. I am drinking more than I normally would, but these aren’t normal times.
When I say I’m not going to worry about it, I mean that I will re-assess when things approach normality. |

Six beers a day/night on smack down is nothing, the weathers been great it’s nice to relax and drink in the sunshine ! Six beers on a school night however... |

I dont drink or smoke.people who do can still do that with lockdown. People who enjoy sex (and are single) have to be patient and wait till safe to meet up again. |

Having to much time on your hands especially with lockdown it's easy to get into bad habits.
Great advice above, is to cut down from 6 to 5 and so on. Eventually having dry days maybe.
It's good and necessary to give your body a break x |

Alcohol... ewww 
I’d like to be a shareholder in my local off license right now though.
Their sales in strong European lager have rocketed a ‘friend’ informed me. |

"Nope I've been drinking the frowned upon usual amount. "
I’m interested to know scarlet.
Are you more or less scary when you’ve had a frowned upon amount? |

Don't drink so it's not affected me. I go to a lot of gigs. It was hassle trying to get through crowd to the toilets and then having to wait or avoid the "spillage" (ugh!) so just got used to having water. I never miss a song! |

I'm working from home and the kitchen table is my office. It's a 10 second commute to the fridge, after a stressful day, its too easy to get a beer or wine out on my way to the living room to chill out |

Judging by the beer stacked to the ceiling in my local off license you're not the only one!
I try to just drink once a week. I do miss the pub like an awful lot of people. |

Definitely not. However I wasn't drinking at all and now I do allow myself a small glass of wine now and then because I struggled with sleep greatly. I know though its temporary. I dont like relying on it. And I am aware of it. |
