I'm drinking more since the lockdown. Not excessive by any means but about a bottle (.5l) of beer every day and sometimes a small glass of scotch.
It makes it easier to draw a line between work and leisure time. The alcohol signals to me and my brain that now it's time for some relaxed activities ... well, youtube, netflix, mubi, reading (hacker)news.
Think I've drank almost every day, probably the least amount was maybe the odd week where I drank like 3 days.
Work wise I'm probably working on the most important project of my life there's nowhere to offload that stress. Can't meet any friends not even allowed to meet outside, everyone stopped doing virtual meet ups months ago and just became introverted instead so what else is there.
I found exactly the same in our lockdown; by not having the physical act of leaving the workplace, you need something to replace that, and a beer fits that pretty well. Too easy to continue that habit though
