Alcohol and the Pandemic

Today Lucy and Vic are talking about the how the pandemic has affected alcohol intake. Unfortunately, home lockdowns, boredom and fear meant alcohol consumption increased by 25% in 2021. People are leaning on booze more than ever before. For some, the pandemic meant they were dragged further into an already toxic relationship with alcohol and others were actually forced to confront their demons and used Covid19 as an opportunity to change. So, did covid break you or make you? Today Vic and Lucy want to delve into how you can identify if your drinking has got out of control and uncover the signs that your habit needs addressing. Is one bottle of wine per night really too much? Find out on this funny and insightful episode.
