[quote=Anonymous]Weird, DH and I were talking about this earlier today. I think the pandemic has exacerbated the functional alcoholism in UMC neighborhoods since people are generally home more. We definitely notice it in ours...Halloween, cornhole tournaments, book clubs, firepit parties, even kids backyard bday parties all seem to be hyperfocused on adult beverages. It's the "wine mom" meme in action. DH was saying he realized his regular golf outing is basically an excuse to drink all day. Neither of us are huge drinkers and are both prone to terrible hangovers so we tend to limit ourselves to 1-2 drinks a few nights a week if that. We like edibles but I don't consider those to be a great social lubricant  :lol: so mostly a me and DH thing.

PP who talked about people thinking they need alcohol to have a common thread and manage at social events is probably right. If you can drink frequently and be fine the next day, more power to you. I don't see people get super sloppy that often but it's more the moderate amount on such a frequent basis that surprises me. I'm sure it leads to issues for people with risk factors.[/quote]
