Wildly varying drinking habits have taken hold in the world since the Covid-19 outbreak, as the nation's mood falls far lower even after the financial crash. A report from the Central Statistics Office on the social impact of the virus in April found the percentage of men increasing their alcohol intake was almost 21%, while just over 23% of women did similarly. However, a further 26% of men reported a decrease in alcohol consumption, compared with just under 9% of women.

A spike in smoking and junk food eating was also apparent, with 30.5% reporting an increase in tobacco consumption since the introduction of Covid-19 restrictions. Women were considerably more likely to increase junk food consumption, at over 54% compared with almost 37% of men. More than half aged 70 or over reported that their frequency of exercising had decreased since being asked to cocoon in their homes, the CSO report found. Over four in ten who were very concerned about household stress from confinement reported an increase in alcohol consumption and drug abuse, while just over three in ten, who said they felt lonely at least some of the time in the past four weeks, reported an increase in drinking.
