Anyone else feel that they are drinking more than before since the whole WFH situation? Looking for tips on how you reduced the intake + frequency. Offlate I have been reaching for that end of day drink more often since there is no restriction on going to client site.

Iโ€™d say less as I tend to drink at home during the weekend (when I get to be the chef too) - pre-COVID would be out for lunches /dinner with ๐Ÿท๐Ÿพ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿฅƒ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿน

I realized sometimes I actually wanted a drink, but other times I was having one as a signal that itโ€™s time to to relax and pay attention to my SO instead of my phone. Now I try to pay more attention to what I really want. if I just want to relax, I try to have the โ€œcocktail experienceโ€ without the alcohol. I make a nonalcoholic drink and have it in the same spot I would be for a cocktail, leave my phone in another room, turn on a record, etc.

Much, much less with no happy hours and no travel. Wasnโ€™t really intentional at first but now I drink maybe 2-5 drinks a week over 1-2 days and usually take 2 weeks off every month or so. Pre-covid was probably too high of a number drinking 4-5 x per week.

Some advice would be to ask why you are drinking more. Some other advice would be to grow older where the cost of the hangover after a couple drinks outweighs the benefits. ๐Ÿ˜†

D2, i agree it feels great not drinking. Especially waking up in the AM with no headaches.

Yes, a lot more. Haven't had an appetite for dinner most days, and a whiskey or two clears that right up.

For a while I would have a drink with lunch then never stop, after a few months this was happening on a daily basis and I would be be pretty "happy" by 5-6pm when it was time to finish up the day. Now I will not have anything until it's time to finish up. However I wouldn't get as drunk at the end of the day as I would be when I was on-site, however I wouldn't be on-site more than once every month so all in all I didn't drink more wfh than what I would when being on site just spread it out more over the day.

Ideally Iโ€™d love to make my way towards either an Advisor or Strategist.
