Summary

During the coronavirus pandemic, adults started reaching for the bottle more than ever. An increasing number of Americans responded to the stress, anxiety, isolation, loss and boredom of the pandemic by turning to alcohol. According to a Nielsen study, consumption of alcohol grew amongst adults over the age of 30 by 14% during the pandemic.    In 2020 there was a 41 percent increase in the number of days on which women drank heavily, and the rate of adults who reported drinking more to manage pandemic stress was more than twice as high for parents with children between the ages of 5 and 7 .  Excessive drinking and alcohol use is proven to negatively impact us in many ways: it can affect our ability to concentrate and get quality sleep. It can also exacerbate depression and anxiety (which is ironically why many people drink – to cope with these issues).   Today, we are talking about the backlash against the pandemic fueled surge in alcohol consumption.    To access resources and links mentioned in this episode, head to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/103   Ready to drink less + live more?
