    And that's the way it most often is, for me, I'm happy to report.

    I'd rather not say which pub, if you don't mind. It's weird, even though I post ridiculously freely on these boards about my life, thoughts and feelings, for some reason posting which pub I was in (even though it's now in the past) feels like an exposure too far.

    Absurd, I know, but that's me, an absurd 'burd' :D

    Tbh I was just surprised that any pub near Croker had any tables free before the concert, most of them are usually rammed :D

    Absolutely, and then I'd never get my crossword finished (not that I ever get it finished anyway - the difficult one, I mean, I'm actually almost useless at the cryptic crossword but I keep on trying). :p

    What's this 'we' business :pac:

    Tbh I've not been in a pub since Saturday so she could even tell me if she had a red carnation on and it wouldn't matter a damn!

    Nice to see she felt fine in the pub on her own tho! I just hope insanity50 doesn't find out :p

    I have no problem with women having a quiet drink down the pub.

    If i can do it, then why can't they?

    Fair play OP

    I can now imagine every boardsie who sees a woman enjoying a drink on her own in a Dublin pub wondering to themselves 'Should I ask her if she is Fizzlesque?'

    They could start a new thread with their experiences.

    If this was Saudi Arabia I'd have 7 wives and you'd be in the kitchen.

    I'm surprised this thread has rumbled on for as long as it has, it's been interesting reading people's sometimes very differing views on the subject, as well as discovering it's not only some women who don't feel comfortable drinking alone in a pub.

    Yesterday evening was the first time I was in a pub alone since starting this thread - I was heading to the Chili Peppers concert in Croke Park and arranged to meet my friend in a pub beforehand. I got there half an hour before our arranged meeting time, and she arrived half an hour after our arranged meeting time, so I had one whole hour of sitting alone, enjoying a drink. There were a few groups of men there and although one table in particular (right next to my table) glanced over at me a few times, I was left in perfect peace to enjoy my drink and the music until my friend arrived.

    I didn't even have a book with me, and the only time I looked at my phone was when I sent my friend a text to tell her I was there, and where I was sitting, and when she replied to let me know she would be there soon.

    Thanks to all who have added a reply, even those whose views I thoroughly disagreed with. :)

    did you feel like you were being judged?

    did you feel in any way socially uncomfortable?

    It's a litre of The Captain and six cans of Karpackie for me tonight , a friend is home from the states for the weekend.

    all going to plan we'll take in the soccer, the clubs, and then the boxing tonight.

    What about you?

    Absolutely in ribbons now.

    In work sick as a dog.
    Great night though from what I can remember, it was a bit of a blur after we left the house.

    The captain went down a treat especially since I hadn't had a taste of him in nearly four weeks.

    Had a couple of captains in the club as well and they really sent me over the edge.
    Mix it with club orange for anyone who has never tried it, tastes delicious, like a super split.

    I will probably have to try and give up the sauce again though, kinda disappointed I fell off the wagon yesterday but just had a hunger for it that wouldn't go away.

    Feel like absolute sh*te now today. Thankfully the office has been quiet so far, hasn't been too many patients in so far. If I haven't perked up by lunchtime i'll go for a bulmers to cure me. There's a taco chip just sitting in my stomach and I'd be willing to lay a few quid on which end of me it's going to come out of!!!!

    Had two pints with my lunch at work.

    Have a taste for it now.

    Have sent out the group texts and the lads will be around at 6ish with the slabs and the spirits.

    Gonna go for six cans myself and half a litre of the beloved captain.

    Was sober for the past three and a half weeks so making it a good one tonight.

    Will bust into some games of COD, then watch the liverpool match. then finish off out drinks and head to the pub and then club!!
    Gonna be a great one!

    Anyone else on the lash?

    People who drink alone are sad and pathetic and have a drinking problem.

    No need for alcohol to be consumed let alone to be consumed in the presence of nobody else.

    Congrats anto you have highlighted that I have a drink problem. My struggle is well documented in the non-drinkers forum and my own threads here in AH.

    I struggle everyday with demons trying to get through and survive and not turn to the bottle.

    I'm glad you take such joy in seeing me fall off and on the wagon; I take comfort knowing that you are ready and waiting every time I fall off to throw it all in my face and drag it up every time I post - such comfort comes from knowing my own pitiful existence is only marginally as miserable as yours must surely be.

    Attack the post, not the poster. Post reported. :pac:

    The only thing I highlighted is the fact you're a troll. If any of the above was true then why why attack people who drink on this and other forums with such such vengence and in such a spiteful tone?

    Surely if you have issues with alcohol you wouldn't belittle them in such a manner.

    Don't expect to come on forums attacking people and have it all your own way. Peolple don't appreciate being abused by posters on a moral high trip - especially relevant considering your posting history horsemeat. Expect to be called out :cool:
