Questions of etiquette are flying thick and fast (albeit around our own heads). Like: 'When is it too early to drink,' and 'Is it drinking alone if I phone a friend?'

"It's noon somewhere in the world," has taken on a whole new meaning since we have sealed ourselves into our houses in the darkest time of our lives. Questions of etiquette are flying thick and fast . Like:"When is it too early to drink," and"Is it drinking alone if I phone a friend?" In both cases I refer you to the surgeon general's recommendations, but on the latter count of calling a mate, I say go for it.

Wily humans took exactly one day to find the loophole to meeting up for coffee or going to the pub in person. Video conferencing catch-ups are the new normal, and not as problematic as they sound. It's fun. Truthfully it is. I've cooked dinner with a Sydney friend for three hours over a bottle of wine. I've played Heads Up and Draw This with mates in Tassie using the House Party app. I've taken tours of people's houses that I've never managed to visit in person, and spoken to more friends"Facetime-to-Facetime" in the past week than I have in the previous month.

Never before 11am and never alone.

After being a heavy drinker I gave it up over the last year and have now been sober for 6 mths. It feels great. Drinking adds to stress which makes you want to drink more to cope. It is like a virus. Stop promoting it as a way of dealing with your problems. It doesn't work.

Might clean up, ah fuck it.

The old “ it’s 5 o’clock somewhere in the world “.

I have left my watch on Kiribati time, 6.00pm comes to me an hour early In melbourne . Salute 🍷

Careful: we’ll soon be preached to about how to responsibly quarantine. The morally outraged know no boundaries.

Drinking, stress & physical isolation is not a great mix. Please don’t encourage irresponsible service of alcohol in homes

'Reckless and stupid': NSW Police issue first infringements related to COVID-19A woman in Lake Macquarie and the staff at a Sydney massage parlour have become the first people issued with fines under new public health laws designed to help stop the spread of COVID-19 so no happy ending...... I’m deeply saddened by the number of people spitting on police, health care workers and fruit. It is disgusting and people should be charged accordingly. Especially if they are knowingly infected. Was it a massage parlour or a ' massage parlour ' ?
