A week of an unprecedented kind opened last Monday for the French, deprived of most public places and invited to telecommute while looking after their children while waiting for possible even more radical measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

In this period when isolation is the norm, the exchange of memes, diversions and jokes is increasing on social networks, and in particular on WhatsApp. And, among them, many messages on alcohol consumption during confinement went online during this first week. Here are two examples:

Faced with his fellow citizens deemed "unruly" as to the measures of "social distancing", President Emmanuel Macron must decide at the beginning of the week the heavy question of a possible stricter confinement of the entire population. And this for a long time. So a question arises: will confinement make us all alcoholics?
