Survey: La. drinks more since lockdown

About 29% of Louisianans admit they have been drinking more since lockdown began, as it’s cheaper than going out to a bar or restaurant, according a survey conducted by DrugAbuse.com.
This is perhaps unsurprising considering you might pay $1 for a beer from the liquor store vs. $5 for the same beer at a restaurant or bar.
DrugAbuse.com, provider of drug and alcohol treatment resources and programs, conducted a survey of 3,000 Americans to find out if they have been drinking more during lockdown than they did pre-pandemic. Across the U.S., Rhode Islanders and Delawareans topped the at-home happy hour charts with both states 43% admitting they are drinking more now than before lockdown due to it being cheaper than going out.
Comparatively, only 16% of Oregonians admitted to this.
About 28% of Americans drink more alcohol on a night at home during lockdown than if they went out.
It also appears that after lockdown, streets may be far emptier than before considering 79% of Americans say even once bars are open, they would prefer to stay in and socialize with friends from now on.
