of the times suddenly put our daily habits under a microscope, from how we work to how we take care of ourselves. A big one you might be reevaluating now? Your relationship with alcohol. For some, pandemic drinking became an all-too-easy way to deal with tough emotions.
Once you got through that first month of quarantine, you may have realized that drinking alone just wasn’t the same. So what happens when happy hour meetups ramp back up and you find yourself surrounded by good company and even better cocktails? You might drink more than you actually intend to because you maybe haven’t been in that situation for a while.
If you cut back during the pandemic, your tolerance may have decreased, meaning you might feel the effects of that second drink a lot faster. In this situation it’s important to be especially aware when drinking in new settings and to take it more slowly than you normally would so that you don’t accidentally get sick or maybe do something else that you might regret. Because we’re all so used to staying at home now, it’s understandable to feel a bit of anxiety in social situations.
But how do you do that, exactly? “Start with small groups of people and bring it up beforehand,” Dr. Hubbell says. “Make not drinking an option that feels good.” You can suggest an activity that doesn’t involve alcohol, like going to a workout class or a museum.
