I'm not suggesting a hardcore addict is gonna quit, but your average joe who just throws down a few bets when there's a weekend of premier league games on, I've a feeling a few of them might start giving it a skip

I'm looking forward to doing a fiver docket for the next soccer Saturday.

I was actually reading something advising people about changing their habits in terms of drinking at home. It suggested that having a few beers at home, or a glass or two of wine is totally grand, but that people should avoid changing habits, such as becoming a nightly home drinker, if that’s not been the way you’ve operated before. Or if you do like a drink every night, avoid turning it in to four or five on a nightly basis. And try to avoid things like liquid lunches when working from home, simply because you can.

However, I think this will change how we drink at home one way or another.

It’s much easier to just have one at home. When you have one at home it means one, two at most. One in the pub, especially a decent pub, can spell trouble!

Things I’m looking forward to when this is all over is an end to the sh*t that has polluted social media in recent weeks
Between people juggling toilet rolls with their feet, to naming teams out of items in their houses, to photos of them as a footballer, to some thing called until tomorrow, to daily videos of their workouts Dead
Give it a f**king rest

I had got into the habit of a few beers every night, even more on the weekend. 
Wife finally called me up on it on Friday night, got into a big argument. I haven’t drank since then so I guess she won.

In fairness it was not the best road to be going down.
Go back to 2-3 nights a week

It's a slippery slope and something that I am battling with myself.

Would drink 3/4 nights of the week, but as the time goes on, you'd drink that extra can or that extra glass of wine.

Buy what you want to drink and park it there.

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Buying on a limited basis is a good idea. Like “comfort eating”, you can almost mindless put beers into the fridge and keep rolling. Having only as much as you’d usually take available is a good mechanism.

I was just interested how Skype and FaceTime calls always seemed to need a beer in hand, when that wasn’t the case before.

I really think this will become the norm for people who can going forward.

My company allows people to wfh one day a week but I can see that been relaxed going forward.
I’ve a proper desk and monitor set up so it’s not a big issue. 
I wouldn’t like to do 5 days a week but a more even split would be nice.
