Zoom is also great if you're missing regular happy hours with coworkers or city friends β or want to set up a virtual date.
People across the nation are meeting online for five-o-clock drinks. Ray A. Smith explored the virtual happy hour trend for The Wall Street Journal.
One person he spoke with, Carl Haley, said he hosted a virtual "Quarantini Party" with friends after canceling plans due to coronavirus fears, in which they all met on Zoom with martinis in hand. "It turned out to just be amazing," Haley said.
Kelley Kitley, a psychotherapist and author, told Smith that virtual happy hours are a way "to make some kind of normalcy out of such a not normal situation. To find some ways to have consistency and to have things to look forward to. To schedule a date with somebody that you would have coffee with, but through the phone."
