in the beginning of the pandemic i was drinking probably half a bottle of wine a night which is probably ~3 glasses. the stress of everything, being stuck at home with 3 young children, etc. took actually a while to kick the habit. now i just have a few friday night and over the weekend. but during that time i still went to work and was my normal dad self, just after the kids went to be drank a bit. i think you can do some moderate drinking without being homeless although i do feel much healthier now that i don't drink much during the week
