Qualtrics Panels is a survey management service wherein participants are recruited from a large pool of potential subjects based on criteria specified by the researcher. Qualtrics respondents completed the online survey through Qualtrics Panels between April 17 and April 23, 2020. Participants provided informed consent and were screened for eligibility. Eligible panel respondents met the following criteria: (a) at least 18years of age; (b) consumed at least 12 alcoholic beverages in the last 12months; (c) worked at least 20h per week; (d) romantically involved with their current romantic partner for at least six months; and (e) cohabiting with that romantic partner. The panel was also split evenly by gender with 50% men and 50% women. Kanny D., Naimi T.S., Liu Y., Lu H., Brewer R.D. Annual Total Binge Drinks Consumed by U.S. Adults, 2015.

One review also commended the pub’s provision of Belgian beer, supporting the idea that this establishment certainly offers a wide selection of drinks for its customers. There are several explanations for why alcohol use might increase during a pandemic and the associated restrictive disease-containment strategies (e.g., boredom, disruption to routines, distress). The Self-Medication Hypothesis posits that the use of certain substances, like alcohol, acutely relieves psychological suffering ( Khantzian, 1997). Thus, many adults may use substances such as alcohol to cope with the perceived threat and/or psychological distress ( Boschi et al., 2000, Stewart, 1996) associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. While potentially effective in the shorter-term, self-medication is typically seen as an avoidance coping strategy, which may paradoxically maintain or even increase distress in the longer term (see Stewart et al., 2016, for review). This type of coping-related drinking is also associated with risk for development of alcohol-related problems ( Cooper et al., 2016). Given that during COVID-19-related social distancing, individuals may be faced with increased stress and uncertainty ( Taylor, 2019) as well as anxiety and depressive symptoms ( Brooks et al., 2020), those who experience more perceived threat and/or psychological distress may be those most likely to use alcohol to cope.

Further, two of these associations -- the two related to quantity consumed -- are more pronounced for women than men, consistent with previous literature suggesting that the use of alcohol to cope with distress is more relevant to women’s than men’s drinking ( Kuntsche et al., 2015). In both interactions, at low levels of COVID-related psychological distress, men display the usual pattern of drinking more than women ( Stewart et al., 2009). However, as distress related to COVID-19 increases, women’s drinking “catches up” with or converges with that of the men (see Figures). Gender convergence refers to the observation that women’s drinking has been, over recent decades, catching up with men’s drinking as women face the stressors that were historically the domain of men (e.g., career stressors) (see Stewart et al., 2009). Our results suggest that exposure to a widespread situational stressor (i.e., COVID-19 psychological reactions) is having a similar effect of leading women to catch up to men in terms of their drinking behavior across several different indices. This gender convergence in heavy drinking at high levels of COVID-19-related distress is very concerning given that similar quantities of alcohol in women and men result in greater adverse effects for women (e.g., liver and heart disease) ( Stewart et al., 2009). Interestingly, psychological distress related to COVID-19 was similarly related to increased drinking frequency and heavy drinking among men and women, suggesting that while women may drink more on a typical and heavy drinking occasion (peak and typical quantity), both men and women drink more often (in general and heavy drinking) in response to experiencing pandemic-related stress. We need to monitor the drinking quantity particularly in response to pandemic-related distress among women and the drinking frequency and heavy drinking frequency of those experiencing pandemic-related distress regardless of their gender. The Quarryman in Wirksworth has also ranked pretty highly on TripAdvisor’s list of Peak District pubs. Ideally it’s best for anyone in a higher risk category not to visit a supermarket and indeed for everyone making a trip to a busy supermarket we increase our social interaction and risk of exposure to infection. Seeing shoppers wearing face coverings has become the norm. With stores limiting the number of customers entering at anyone time, the queues can be long – it’s been sunny lately but what if it’s throwing it down? What if you’re not feeling great that day? Or you’ve choice but to take the kids with you? Once we’re inside, the experience isn’t the same either; browsing isn’t really the done thing nowadays, we try our best to stay 2 meters away from others (a distraction in itself) and you hit the dairy aisle and it’s suddenly really busy and people are in the way of the Cheshire Cheese you’re trying to grab out of the chiller without being frowned at for being too close, so you wait patiently. You get the picture; shopping local, using a delivery service, takes away these experiences. The Greenman in Ashbourne remains popular with its customers. (Image: Google Street View) 6 - The Head of Steam This low sugar non-alcoholic beverage is suitable as a post-workout, post-meeting or post-social drink, claims the brand. “My ADHD can make it extremely difficult to switch my brain off at the end of a long day,” says co-founder Louie Syred. “Reaching for alcohol has always been my go to, but as a business owner and young parent, I can’t afford to be groggy and sluggish the next day. We’ve formulated the perfect blend of natural calming ingredients to calm your mood and quieten your mind, without the downsides.”

Every time you buy produce from someone other than a local producer your money leaves the local economy. By shopping locally you keep money in your area, which helps to sustain local producers and create local jobs. By supporting your local farmer today, you’ll help ensure that there will be farms in your community tomorrow. A “brilliant atmosphere” and “great beer destination” are just some of the things that visitors to the Beer Engine say about this establishment.

And when it comes to home delivery, there’s something rather exciting about a box full of local produce arriving at your door. There’s a sense of satisfaction to see your eggs are from Congelton, the sausages are made in Bakewell and the ice cream is produced in Tideswell, for example. This is all going to taste so good, you think to yourself – and it does.

Despite making important contributions to the field, this study is not without limitations. First, our cross-sectional design precludes making assumptions about temporality or causality of the association between COVID-19-related stressors and drinking. Further, given this data was collected close to the start of social distancing measures in the U.S., we may not have captured routine behavior established once people have settled into the new reality of the pandemic and social distancing. Future research should continue to look at alcohol use trends across time as the pandemic continues to affect daily life. Further, a more comprehensive assessment of COVID-related threat and psychological distress would provide a more nuanced evaluation of what specific aspects of the pandemic experience are most strongly related to drinking behavior. Additionally, this sample comprised American adults cohabiting with a romantic partner, who were already regular drinkers, and who worked at least 20h per week, which may limit generalizability of the results. Moreover, we cannot rule out that the greater reactivity of women’s drinking to the COVID-19 stressors was secondary to greater “room to move” in the women’s drinking data; however, this seems unlikely given that the men’s average values on the four drinking indices were nowhere close to ceiling (see Table 1 for means). Finally, while the pattern of findings is consistent with predictions emerging from the Self-Medication Hypothesis ( Khantzian, 1997), we did not assess drinking motives during the pandemic period; future studies should directly assess the relations of COVID-19-related psychological distress with coping-motivated drinking ( Cooper et al., 2016).Catering for vegetarian diets, this pub offers a wide variety of appetisers as well as main course and dessert options for those looking for a sit down meal.
