I worked in bars for years and loads of men would come in on their own and sit at the bar with a pint and chat with me or with some other bloke who came in and wandered to the bar.
But women never did. Not to say it doesn't happen but I've never seen it.
I think a woman sitting alone at a bar with a pint, one of two things will happen. People will hit on her. Or people will be afraid to talk to her in case it looks like they are hitting on her

I love having a few drinks at home. I just wish it was more acceptable for a woman to go to a pub alone with a paper and prop up the bar for a few hours. I like pubs during the day but majority of times life gets in the way and when I do get the chance I've nobody to go with.
Is it not acceptable for women to go into pubs alone?
Where's this? Not Dublin?
I'd be inclined to think that if a man criticised a woman for drinking alone it says more about the patrons of that particular pub than it does Irish society in general. I've seen loads of women in pubs by themselves, having a drink and reading. Honestly, I never even thought twice about it.
I say go in for one whenever you want. If someone hassles you, tell them to fook off!0 -
It's not that it's unacceptable. That was probably the wrong choice of words. But it definitely isn't as usual to see a woman on her own in a bar than a man. I don't know any girl who finishes work, heads to the pub on her own and sits supping a pint hoping to meet some other girls she knows.....but that's a fairly regular thing for the boys. Well, that's the way it's been anywhere I've lived. Maybe in the capital things are a bit more modern

tbh i cant see anything wrong with drinking on your own, whether at home on the net, few dvds etc, or out in a bar.
i mean does that mean that if all your mates dont want to head out for a few drinks you have to sit at home even if you really want you head out?!
if i go out to a bar alone, id usually very rarely end up sitting alone all night, id usually see someone i knew or something like that and it can turn into a truly brilliant night
, random nights like that seem to be the best imho
if i drink at home alone it with a few dvds or on boards etc, its fun tbh and once your not getting completely off your face everytime you do it then whats the problem?!
and 25% for me too, ah not bad though, seriously thought i would have gotten more in that test, answered it completely honestly and everything, more drink so

Im never alone when Captain Morgan is around
Way i see it is alot of the Irish thing about drinking alone at home being unhealthy is propaganda from pubs and the catholic religion, alot less speople would be killed on the roads or injured in pointless violence if people had the odd drink at home, i have the odd drink because i enjoy it, Irish mentality of going out and getting hammered and then ruining someone elses night by having them drag your drunken ass home never appealed to me.0 -
