Quenchless
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 bottles battles he lost?
Or was it
My lack of socializing
That kept me subsidizing
Charisma
With each drink
I came across?
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.
