When people try to take control of their drinking, things do not always go as planned. Life events can be unexpected and unplanned. The virus COVID-19 is an example of a major unexpected event. These unexpected events are also known as barriers. Barriers are things that get in the way of goals. They range from grief and loss in the family to lack of motivation and shifting priorities. Some barriers can be an underlying reason for drinking. For instance, it is difficult to reduce drinking when it is being used for pain relief.
