    Yup I'm doing it right now.

    If I had money, I wouldn't be, though.

    That said, it has almost infinite advantages to it, when compared with going on a night out. The main one being I don't regret being alive the next day.

    I haven't stayed out late and I dunno how I'd feel if I was there by myself.

    I like having the match on, it's my comfort :D


    I'd def feel out of place if I was by myself and there were groups of people around me late at night!

    i know how you feel m8,but sure you get chatting to folk in pub.

    True, and it makes a big difference when the bar man actually enjoy's his job. Makes the experience less daunting!

    Drinking on your own is fantastic. Good company, few fights, nobody hogging the loo and guaranteed sex at the end.

    That comment made me laugh more than I have in days. :D
    I wish I could thank it twice.
    I'm not drinking btw.

    I'm just in from the local, had a great a night but its not over yet, I have 6 cans in the fridge that I tend to enjoy on my own. I love this time, I get to youtube all my favourite songs without any voices of dissent and just chillax in my own company for a couple of hours.

    Can't drink on my own, don't know why but I really can't see the appeal of sitting on my own drinking away and having no one to talk to or anything. If I was on my own at home for the night I'd watch a film, DVD, etc. but I'd never consider getting a few cans, but then again I'm a social drinker and always have been, I only ever drink when I'm with friends..

    When ye need someone to talk to when your drinking its because your the type of person a lone drinker avoids , silence is your friend , bottle them feelings i dont wanna hear them lol

    you should try get rid of them every now and then . Its makes lone drinking so worthwhile, Wont have to see a nappy till about 4 tomorrow afternoon. I think lone drinking is much better when you have children , you appreciate the silence alot more.

    Getting in after a late shift or just on a wed I like to kick back with a couple, would rarely be any more then 3.

    What annoys me is getting invited to mates gaff for a few beers and you arrive and they stick on a film, Id rather converse in that situation. Its even worse when they didn't wait for you to arrive and you've missed the start. In which case I will invariably ruin it for everyone :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 70 ✭✭allovertheshop


    cheers very nice, wish it was that simple. it's either a 20 minute round trip to shop, walking, or bed! can't stay drinking without smokes!
