Alcohol consumption levels tend to decrease during the first months of the so-called “intelligent lockdown”, when bars and restaurants were closed and social interactions reduced to a minimum. At the beginning of June, there is an inflection point and a second phase starts, in which alcohol consumption shows a steep increase, with a peak around July-August, which could be attributed to the summer holidays season. However, it is also remarkable that, on June the 1st, most lockdown measures were relaxed and bars and restaurants were allowed to open again, as shown in Fig. 1 (#2).
