Replacing alcohol with...ice cream?

First of all let's just establish ice cream cannot replace alcohol. That said, I am not a sweet tooth. At all. But this year I've probably consumed more ice cream (Haagen Dazs - chocolate and peanut butter to be exact) than I have in my entire life combined. I probably average 2-3 pints a week. 

Does anyone know why this is, or why this could be? I continue to exercise so please don't get the impression I'm sitting around stuffing my face all day. But as far as cravings go...it's very real.

Anyway - it's April. 3 months down. Have a couple of job leads...will see those through. Hope everyone is doing well.
