{{< poem >}} The only Drink that quenches Dulls the senses Until All discretion Is lost.

What Enabled this dependence? My college attendance? Is that their Accreditation's cost?

Is it The fault of my genes? A man who Couldn't stay clean Then passed down The{{< / poem >}} bottles {{< poem >}}battles he lost?

Or was it My lack of socializing That kept me subsidizing Charisma With each drink I came across? {{< / poem >}}


These are the main reasons I would take to drink. With the social restrictions during 2020, drinking became even more prevalent due to stress, increased alcohol availability, and general boredom. I haven't found any studies regarding drinking and post-quarantine, but I could see another uptick in drinking due to people storming the bars once restrictions were lifted. As someone who moved to a new city knowing hardly a soul, I know I certainly did.
