A researcher in England has looked at drinking habits during the Bubonic Plague. Though this was several hundred years ago, it's an interesting comparison to the current situation.
In the 17th century, the plague outbreak closed down the social outlets for people, meaning the taverns. Remember, they had no internet to fall back on for socializing! They couldn't order beer and wine online! This may have been the start of the drinking at home routine.
