‘When I open it, I have to drink it all’: push and pull factors shaping domestic alcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic UK Spring 2020 lockdown by Conroy, Dom, Nicholls, Emily

“…Discussion and conclusions: With the increasing normalisation of domestic drinking during a global pandemic, this paper illuminates several factors that may encourage or curtail domestic alcohol consumption and invites us to consider the importance of assemblages, space and context. Such findings have wider applicability; for example consideration of specific (and perhaps unique) push and pull factors of home spaces could inform future alcohol policy, health promotion messages and how guidance around ‘moderation’ or risky drinking is communicated.…”
