\n It\u2019s a Zoom crawl!<\/p>\n

Upper West Sider Beej Christie Karpen is causing a stir with her virtual mind mixers, which ease the pain of the pandemic without going overboard with the booze.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor many, drinking is a strategy\u2026to deal with trauma or stress, and many of them had it under control until the pandemic hit,\u201d the certified life coach and meditation instructor told The Post. \u201cIt just felt so ungrounding that they fell back on old habits.\u201d<\/p>\n

And a study backs Karpen up: Alcohol.org found that 38% of New Yorkers raise a glass between video conference calls with the boss.<\/p>\n

But fear not, cocktail connoisseurs. Karpen offers a safe space for swillers.<\/p>\n

She created the \u201cModeration Management for Women\u2019s\u201d support group pre-COVID, but now holds the free drink tank online for a happ<\/a>y hour every Wednesday. About 20 to 30 women sign on\u00a0from the West Side to the West Coast to uncork their bottled-up fears and frustrations.<\/p>\n

Karpen told the story of one zealous Zoomer who threw a party for a bunch of construction workers after finishing a project with them \u2014 and ended up buying a keg of beer and a couple of bottles of rose. The woman whined: \u2018Who did I think was going to drink that? Right, I was going to hand a glass of freakin\u2019 rose to these big burly construction workers? Here you go!’\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordial is how Karpen describes the meetings, but many of the women \u2014 mostly professionals ranging from their early 20s to their 70s \u2014 \u201cmention that the political situation causes them a lot of stress. Certainly, the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

The women don\u2019t drink together online, but do share what they imbibe.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of wine. Some have moved to healthier wines with lower sugar and alcohol content. Some beer, some mixed drinks,\u201d she said, adding \u201cthe meetings have a light, positive vibe to them.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
