According to researchers, Americans have been drinking more amid the coronavirus pandemic, compared to the same period last year. 14 percent more, to be exact. It might have seemed like a better way to cope with the whole situation but “in addition to a range of negative physical health associations, excessive alcohol use may lead to or worsen existing mental health problems, such as anxiety or depression, which may themselves be increasing during COVID-19,” says Michael Pollard, a sociologist at RAND.
Apart from the very important health issues, alcohol consumption also affects your wallet. Drinking one six-pack of beer and a bottle of wine per week might not seem much, but it can cost you around $20. That’s if you’re drinking at home. If you go to a bar, you will have to pay much more for some simple cocktails or a glass of wine. Eliminate those costs or at least reduce them and you will manage to save $1,000 on alcohol alone. Health and money, not bad, huh?
