    What about drinking in the dark with nothing but absolute quiet, there could be a teddy there for comfort but not too big that you would feel threatened by him. You used to have a cat but he left and took her with him.
    Is this normal?

    Jaysus cloptrop, put down the beer and go to bed luv :)

    I was out drinking in a friends house over the christmas and fell asleep at about 5 am , this is completely normal being a friend ive known maybe 15 years now, I woke up to find i had one eyebrow,
    He was holding a grudge since we were 15 and i shaved his,
    What kind of psycho holds a grudge that long. Anyhu its nearly all grown back .
    This would never have happened if I had of just stayed in.

    oh and just to let you know the lounge girls are paid to make you think they think youare great compnay, like any job they prob go and bitch about you when they on the lunchbreak, its just like anyother job and you are the customer.
    Dont be goin the pub on your own payin 5 times the price for the drink because there are lounge girls there, just get a bag of excelsior for about 80p a can out of lidl and sit on a bench in your local shopping centre, much more fun.

    I often play a bit of FIFA on Xbox live with a bottle of wine and a box of fags. I love Tuesdays.

    The Irish Pub culture has as much to do with the fact that some Irish think drinking home alone is odd when most European countrys like France and Italy (with their wines ) and Germany Hollond (with their beers ) have always had a drinking at home culture ,same in America and Australia so no reason why it should be any different in Ireland . I've always enjoyed a few beers or bottles of wine at home at the weekend .

    Do you often drink alone? And if so, how much would you drink? I would drink alone the odd time, maybe once every two weeks just while watching television or on the internet. Never more than a bottle of wine.

    It can range from 2-3 cans to bottle of whiskey or brandy.

    Depends on how strong the goo for drink is

    Hah! No, it isn't more than with company! But it isn't like I would be getting pissed, just a few glasses of wine to relax.

    I'm a business man, sometimes in my local, I share a drink with the waitress who like to practice politics.

    But its better than drinking alone.

    Merged with a recent similar topic.

    Me, I very rarely drink alcohol alone as to me it's a social thing, it's weird for me to drink and there is no-one there to chat with.

    She's a good personal friend of mine, that being said she's been sad a lot lately, has such a long face on her ....
