Meanwhile, residents in Hawaii and New Hampshire had just 10 drinks per week – the lowest figures reported.A separate survey by American Addiction Centers found that 1 in 5 people unemployed due to the pandemic said they turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism.All those drinks led the average drinker to spend 112 hours hungover during the pandemic.
