With something like 40% of America already over-weight, looks like a lot of people are BINGE SNACKING on sweets, chips and other unhealthy treats.
To add to the snacking apparently we are all drunk too? With liquor store owners proclaiming it is like "New Year's Eve every day" of the year.
And then there is the surge in On-Line Gambling. Last time I looked, many Americans have minimal savings and most will run out of savings by the end of April so gambling seems illogical.
Now I'll admit that I drink. Most every evening I will have 1 or 2 drinks. Usually a nice whisky. But sometimes I'll do something lighter with less alcohol and have a drink bit of Sweet Vermouth with a splash of lemon juice. I'm not increasing my drinking and I'm not getting drunk. Like I said, 1, maybe 2 over the course of an evening. Usually with a tall glass of water too. ... And I have gained weight, honestly I'm eating too much but I'm also exercising and now I'm starting a diet. ... near as I can tell, I'm actually SAVING money because we are not out wasting it, shopping, etc.
One has to wonder, when we are let out of quarantine, what shape will American's be in as the world reopens? Fat, poor, and drunk?
