COVID-19 restrictions have led to shifts in the when and why of Aussie drinking behaviour, according to Aussie research. Through in-depth interviews with around 60 Aussie drinkers, the authors found that lockdowns and restrictions meant that many of us weren't going to the pub or taking part in other organised social rituals which often come with drinking. But the fact that many of us shifted to being at home more, and some lost their jobs, meant our drinking shifted to new times and places. Some people reported their drinking shifted from social occasions or after work to drinking to being more of an unremarkable, everyday occurrence.
