I stayed at one in Iceland where the entire bathroom wall facing the living room was unfrosted glass, including the door. The living room was open concept so it was hard to avoid seeing into the bathroom. Great place for couples to bring their entire selves to the relationship.
I would also be interested in this. I've been consulting for about 2 years but mostly thru my network. I'm a bit stuck as to how to branch out beyond that.
What helped me was to start thinking of drinking primarily as a social enhancer or lubricant, instead of a way to retreat into self-medication. Social drinking is how alcohol is fun for me - the other ways don't really add value to my life. A habit of self-medication with alcohol feels more problematic and perhaps indicative of a psychological dependency, whereas social drinking is perfectly normal and enjoyable. You may not agree with this logic, and there are undoubtedly other dimensions to alcohol that I am ignoring, but this is basically how I think about my own relationship with alcohol and it works for me - do what works for you.
Changing my thinking in this way allowed me to start to cleave to an informal rule of "no drinking alone", a lifestyle tweak that struck me as simple and achievable. That helped me to cut down overall. Ultimately it's about deciding what role you want alcohol to have in your life, fixing that in place, and then working backwards from the desired state.
It's a popular little game that turns out to have a few interesting aspects or dimensions to it that people are now exploring. I would view it as perfectly normal and interesting HN content that will taper off when a new fad takes its place.
