Do you ever have a night where you stay inside doing things by yourself and decide to drink and relax? Now I know to the avid drinkers it will sound like a silly question and to less avid drinkers it will sound as if its a plea of loneliness but that is not always the case. Im not implying getting drunk although im sure many people do that by themselves, but more referring to drinking 2 or 3 at night. To people who don't drink or have yet to, would you consider it? When I choose to I enjoy nothing more than sitting at my desk listening to music while posting on a forum or in a chatroom while contemplating whatever there is to contemplate.

You mean a lonely drunk or a depressed drunk? Drinking is alright everyone once in a long while for special occasions.

Nope.  If I don't have anyone to take a shot of Cuervo with me, then it's no fun.

Yeah, Well its no fun if your drinking hard alcohol by yourself but if your relaxing with an ice cold beer then its pretty relaxing.

Personaly, if I'm just gonna drink to drink something, I go for something refreshing... like Sierra Mist, man I love that stuff. Most alcohol is pretty wretched tasting, the only thing I could see myself drinking alone is a cap'n and 7.

Yea, it's nice after a stressful day.  I don't like to drink alone but I figure a beer or 2 after work every once in awhile isn't a bad thing it's like wake-n-bake on a saturday morning.

Most dark beer is very good and much tastier than Sierra Mist, also yes your drinking to drink something but there is a change in mindset as well, kind of like how people drink tea because it taste good and is good for you but it also changes your mindset somewhat by calming your nerves as well as the effects from the caffeine.

Not a fan of dark beer. Not at all. I know what you mean about mindset, but for me to be in the mindset to drink alcohol I gotta be with friends and such, and plan to have a stupid good time. While drinking mostly anything else, is just by myself, or casual. (being thirsty) Typically tho I try to stay away from sugar/caffiene and will drink water. Just feels good to drink. *shrug*

I'm drunk by myself, gun under my seat
I don't want none of my peeps caught up in none of my beef
I'ma ride to the end of the road if I have to
Praying no car speed by for me to crash to
Steering wheel in my hand
Trying to hold it steady
Anything in my way is dead
Cause that's the way I feel, I am already
When I'm drunk by myself alone in the zone
Drunk by myself

Hah, I saw this and it made me laugh, Guinness and Whiskey are two staples of anyone who enjoys real liquor as opposed to all the whiners "I don't like the taste" - usually because their exposure to beer / liquor consists of a Bud Light and some vodka I'd be ashamed to clean my shower with.

Does God count? If not then yes, I drink alone. After work I'll buy a few cans and sit off on the PC or watch a DVD and chill. I dont get drunk but I'll have a few. I dont see why people think its so bad, bloody Christians.

I'm a pretty avid drinker, an aspiring alcoholic if you ask my wife. I'll have about 6-8 beers a day, my wife is home in the evenings but she doesn't drink very often, so she's there but I'm drinking alone. Those 6-8 are just drinks you know? On weekends it goes to about 10-12 and that's when I get a good buzz goin. I don't normally get drunk though, but you know every so often during NASCAR with my father in law, or playing Guitar Hero with a buddy i cut lose and get tanked, but not really on purpose. I just drink until I go to bed...

I only drink very rarely but the first time I did I stole some of my parent's alcohol and tried drinking it by myself. I didn't steal nearly enough to get drunk, though. I don't see anything wrong with drinking by yourself as long as you don't do it to get drunk all the time.

The other day, I finished off a bottle of Smirnoff Ice, which I started with friends, by myself. But then I met up with some more friends and moved onto slightly stronger things with them, heh. That was the only time I have ever drunk alone, and it was only because I knew I was going out with friends later. I don't really enjoy drinking alone, it's just not the same.

"You know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself." - George Thorogood.

When I start drinking after class or after work my roommates will join in. Then after a few phone calls there will be a few more people, next thing you know its a party. Doesn't really matter what I'm drinking either. Bud Light, Sam Adams Boston Lager, Crown and Coke, Jake on the rocks or something home made.

Yeah, Well its no fun if your drinking hard alcohol by yourself but if your relaxing with an ice cold beer then its pretty relaxing.

Or sometimes a mixed drink. The only time I drank hard liqueur by myself with the intention of getting drunk was the day after my brother lost his arm to a woodchipper.

Never by myself.  With friends or family, occasionally.
