Setting aside dry January (for those who partake), how many days per week do you consume alcohol? What day (before today) was the last day you consumed zero alcohol? For those working from home, what is the earliest you have started drinking on a work day? (Any difference on Fridays?)

Stopped drinking back in July, haven’t missed it at all since. When I feel like I want something “special” to drink, I have Kombucha with a squeeze of lime juice in a wine glass. It’s fermented, bubbly and also good for you.

Trying to be healthier this year as I turn 30 so not drinking during the week anymore. Before that, I drank every night of the week at least one or two beers. On weekends probably 6 drinks a day. I never started drinking before I was done working from home.

Separately (from the booze convo), have you had any generational contentions in the workplace? In my last job people kept constantly bad mouthing “millennials” and I said something like, “I’m not sure who or what you think millennials are, but I was born in 84 and that means I’m an elder millenial. We have jobs. Kids. houses. Bills. We are not just a bunch of wimpy babies in our parents basements.” Then I left that firm and said something about being a millennial at my new firm and a 28 y/o said, “you’re not a millennial.” I was like, “ouch! You think I’m old?” I’ve never been Gen X. Those are the 80s high school grads. Some people call elder millennials X-ennials. I think that’s a reasonable term. I feel just as much stress as younger millennials regarding the economic issues we’ve had to face. I graduated law school in 2011 with the market still wrecked from the recession and now we’re in a GD pandemic and still paying student loans. GenX had it freaking easy.

MTW I don’t drink. Thursday 1; Friday and Saturday 3+; Sunday usually 1 as a calm down drink. Friday usually a co-worker and I will make a drink at 3 and get on the phone to discuss our week and plan out the next week’s work. From March until May last year I was drinking every night because the pandemic stressed me out, so I stopped all summer to give my body a break. If you’re wondering if I lost weight, I did not; one vice lead to another.

Had mostly stopped drinking pre-pandemic, but it has ticked up during COVID. Probably partly coping, but partly just easy access and no barriers (no commute/driving). Currently, I’m having 1-2 drinks maybe 4-5 nights a week. Probably going to dial that back again soon.

Less than 1 on average. I drink once every few weeks.

I drink 1-2 every 2-3 weeks, mostly at drinking oriented events. I hate the way I feel after drinking tbh
