No war, pandemic, or financial crisis has affected pubs and bars more than COVID-19 and lockdown. Pubs and bars don’t just sell drinks. They are places where people get together to relax and hang out. Pubs and bars are social settings, and the opposite of so-called social distancing. People will, of course, continue to drink. In fact, at the beginning of the current crisis, it was optimistically claimed that alcohol could prevent or protect against Coronavirus. Since then, this theory has been dispelled as pure fantasy.
On the other hand, there are no specific studies on how alcohol can impact your chances of actually becoming infected with the virus. In any case, beware; if you do drink too much, you might find these ‘drunk’ synonyms useful to describe how you’re feeling!
