Drinking on your own?

I enjoy drinking on my own. I dont get out much because either I cant afford it or have no babysitter. I love when the kids go to bed on a friday or saturday night and I can open a bottle of wine and curl up with the laptop. Sounds so sad when you type it out lol. The only downside to that is if I over do it and wake up in a panic next morning thinks **** what did I post:o

I think that's perfectly reasonable. I love a drink on my own as well. I love nothing more than coming home from hard days work and opening up a nice can of Bavaria:D

Another drinking on your own thread. Get comfortable with your own opinion and yourself OP! Other people are idiots

Seen as nearly everyone is positive / neutral, have you ever got completely sh!tfaced at home drinking on your own?

Once, drank a bottle of Southern Comfort in 3 hours while playing a few seasons of Tiger Woods PGA Tour '04. Didn't realise until i went to stand up. Fell straight over!

I do enjoy having a bottle of Rheinbacher when i come home from work at 6am. Normally, after a (normal)shift of work people watch tv for a while, have a cuppa, etc. At 6am it's usually straight to bed, and a bottle or two can help you relax that little bit quicker and get to sleep quicker.

Also, have been caught a few times by the "everyone is meeting at x time" and being the only one to turn up on time...

Might be of use to you.

And at least if your drink is spiked and you are taken advantage of, you can narrow down the possibilities of who did it!!:D

Some people have warped views of alcohol, I often enjoy a beer or two alone and people have often said it's 'sad' or that's it's a sign of alcoholism. These same people then proceed to go out on the weekends to get drunk enough to puke and almost pass out, with which they see as not a problem as they're not alone. Makes perfect sense to me.

Most everyone on boards has done this

Hesitantly clicking on post history to check what kind of muck you were posting the night before

Usually it's pretty normal posts
And the spelling is very good, almost better then what you do with no drink taken

I don't see anything wrong with that either. I don't have kids so i don't have to be worried about them, so i can do it freely.

What is the difference between getting pissed with your friends on a Saturday than getting pissed on your own on a Saturday? One is more socially acceptable but i couldn't give a **** to be honest!

Ah pure class!!! Love the Southern Comfort story!! Had a similar experience with it once (but only three quarters of the duty free bottle). Legs wouldn't go up the stairs.

You gave me a good reminder / laugh there. Thanks.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were young you had the balls to not care and more importantly to let them know you didnt!

I love a pint out with the lads!

But i also like my own company at times, how do you feel about drinking on your own..either in a pub or at home?

I sometimes drink at home alone, watch a couple of films or DVDs and i love it, but some friends think it is weird or sad!

Personally i couldn't give a fcuk what they think, it is just most think it is weird or wrong in some sort of way.

How do you feel?

Sure you aren't alone when you have all of us keeping you company!!!;)

This is where i trot out my fave statement..

I love my computer, because all my friends are in it!! :pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

Ok, its grand drinking on your own at home with a disclaimer. If you're down and depressed, do not do it, it flucks you up big time with all sorts of thoughts some dangerous going through your mind!

Now if in a pub no matter what day of the week where you need to unwind, what bothers me when drinking on your own is where is the guarantee that your seat is safe when you go to the jacks? And who will mind your coat on the stool whilst you're gone?!

LOL, drink in that situation only helps you escape the reality of any bad news. Believe me i've gone thru it and only since i've cut back on drink i've seen the light. Do ya see the light pilgrim?

drinking at home is not a problem, drinking in empty mind or house could be..

Drinking on your own is grand. You tend not to make an eejit of yourself or lose stuff.
