One in three drinking less in lockdown, UK survey finds

The coronavirus lockdown is transforming Britons’ relationship with alcohol, as research reveals that some have increased their consumption, but an even larger number are drinking less or have stopped entirely.

I am drinking for 3 , and I am noy from UK

Does that mean 2 in 3 are drinking more?

But eating more 🙋🏽‍♀️

Name and shame them I say!

The other 2/3 drinking more?

One in three drinking less, spilling more or comatose for most of the day?

I'm down to 2 bottles of wine a week myself

We know very well that people underestimate their drinking! Why would today’s surveys be any more reliable

1 in 3 drinking less (than the other 2) in the lockdown me thinks.

2 in 3 drinking same or more?

See there's always a silver lining!! Let's hope the trend continues when everything gets back to 'normal' whatever normal is!

One in three SAY that they’re drinking less 🤔

Drink has went thru the roof wtf is this bs?

9/10 drinking 100% more.

Thats a nice surprise :)

Really?

Meanwhile the other two in the three are drinking like fish

I’ve been drinking more.... I mean, I drink like twice a year so it’s not hard 😂

fake news

And eating more

The guardian probably surveyed posh people with big houses and gardens. The poor people are drinking more

Nope. I was tea total before this.

Are they the 1 in 3 who don't have children?

Hic

The other two...

Really! I have shares in my local off licence lol 🍺 🍷 🎶🐣💙

This is surly wrong

Lunatics.

We're making up for them over here on this side of the pond. 😁🍾🍷

shouldnt the headline be 2 in 3 drinking the same or more lol

Didn’t ask me 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

What a silly headline! Does that mean 2 in 3 are drinking more?

Drinking less maybe because they don't have an access to liquor store :)

I’m making up for the slacker. I’ll know who to blame when my liver fails.

Stopped completely. Think I'd end end up at AA otherwise.

And the other two?

God these threads are so tedious with all the alcoholism funny comments.

1/3 in denial.

More for us then!

mrgreyvanman weirdos! I’m the other 2

It’s not fair to just poll Trump, Dr Fauci, and Dr Birx

Ive stopped drinking altogether, 4 weeks now which is why I’m tweeting at 5.24am.....

Madness

LESS?!!

It’s just not as fun...

Alternative headline : 2/3 of us turning into alcoholics during quarantine

LMFAO at stats. Read that again, go on. In reality is says 67% drinking the same or more!

McsorleyShea Judge

Well here in southern Italy the wine is virtually on tap...LOL....or so it seems at my house. Cin cin! 🍷🍷

Does this mean 2/3 are drinking more?

So...2 in 3 drinking more then...!

Not me...

this is Good fasting is good for body,mind,spirit GetWellSoon 🙏🌻

LIES

2 out of 3 lying in lockdown.

Ha!

Mainly children?

Booze in lockdown is costing me a fortune 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

The other two tho

But two in three drinking more?

I’m drinking a lot less because I’m working from home around the clock and have to concentrate

One in three drinking less in lockdown. “that means two in three are drinking more?” No, one in five, read.

2 out of 3 permanently shit faced.

So, say if a third are drinking less, a third the same and a third more, would it be worth writing about

SUCH bollocks

Bollo. I’ve started gargling with Pernod!

So two in three are drinking more while the ones left are in the hospital lol

With the other 2 out of 3 more than making up for them (and good for them I say!)

2 in 3 drinking more

2/3 not drinking less!

Also, lying is up 66.7%

Does that mean 2 in three are drinking more?

I'm drinking less because my usual pattern of a bottle of wine on Sunday night, in defiance of Monday morning, has vanished. I can drink every night, so the panic is gone. Have drunk a bottle of Chardonnay tonight tho..just because.

And the other two are off the charts

That’s based on value not volume

Not at my house

Two out of three heavy on the bevvy 🍸

I only need to get up at nine wtf not?

I’m basically keeping majesticwine in business

2 in 3 drinking more?

If I've said it once, I've say it a million times... Black Tar Heroin people... Black Tar Heroin.

Errrrm.... ok so 1/3 of your survey are drinking less, BUT I will lay good money that the other 2/3’s are now completely impervious to alcohol. As I’m essentially furloughed, I’ve applied to be the chief UK taster for SanMiguel_UK Spaininaglass

Not me 🤣🤣🤣. Our water is poison. Fluoride and Comtrail fallout. Can’t get a replacement filter!

What about the others?

That 1/3 have reached denial stage and are likely full blown alcoholic.

Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye; That’s all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die. I lift the glass to my mouth, I look at you, and I sigh. (William Butler Yeats, 'A Drinking Song')

Yeah, I think I’m in this group instead. Always knew my Scottish-Irish genes would come in handy! Here’s to lockdown. Cheers 🥃

This means 2 in 3 are drinking more?

Survey for families of 3 with small children

Perhaps because one in three drinks has not been watered down by one in three cheap barkeeps.

I've never drank during the whole lock down as money is tight and financial uncertainty ahead, better to use my money wisely on the most necessary things to keep my immune stystem healthy and fully functioning. I don't want any toxic thing in my body for a very long time!

Brown bin never been so full

I am drinking considerably less. Because of less frequent trips to the shops maybe? Or probably because my soul destroying job isn't driving me to it.

Other two permanently pissed.

Does that mean that 2/3 are drinking more? Asking for a friend!

Happy to look after the one in threes drinks for them.

So two in three are drinking more?

misterjamieb

My girlfriend is the other two.

If they are alone they don't need Dutch courage

Who the fuck is undertaking studies such as this at this time? What are their motives and what are the confounding variables. More judgemental toss pot shit to keep the media afloat.

I'm with the other two...

they r probably in the hospital

There’s a trend I’m bucking.

Does that mean the other two are drinking more ?

So 2/3 are drinking more!!! Like me

So 66% of people are getting fucking ripped every night.

Want to guess the South African statistics?

Are you doing 'sober pandemic' this spring?

yeah but those other 2 are ready to party

2 out of 3 drinking more. COVID19

2 in 3 drinking more?

less stress less happy juice

Two in three drinking more?
