Drinking Alone

I think it depends on why you're drinking. If you're an alcoholic, you're probably drinking alone because you're depressed and/or you're trying to hide the habit from the people you know. Then it's just sad.

If you're drinking alone because you felt like it and no one's around/available to celebrate, then why not? Nothing wrong with that.

 

The definition of alcoholic is so stupid.
Like 2 drinks a day defines alco to some researchers.
Pffft. Well I'm an alcoholic then.

 

welldone! jo.one day at a time:2thumbsup:!just had my 20 sober christmas and i'm still an alcoholic too.

I agree.

I drink alone, but prefer to share with friends.

 

what are we drinking tonight koryessa

 

A true addiction is nothing to be played with.

If you don't have a true addiction, then good for you.

 

Same here. Alcohol (esp. beer) really goes against the diet/lifestyle I adhere to, but I feel that when you are good about your diet and keep your consumption to a minimum, it isn't an issue. Other than water, coffee, tea and kombucha, beer is one of the few things I drink as well (though sometimes I also enjoy liquor and wine).

 

I have hardly had a drink for months. I really feel like a glass of wine, but can't.

 

That explains a lot.

 

drinking alone is alright. so is drinking with people. the two are really pretty much entirely different experiences, and i like variety, so it's nice to do both at times.

i'm the opposite. alone, i drink until i feel good and then stop. with people, i tend to just keep going.

 

Has anyone linked the throrogood song yet?

 

No, and please don't.

 

Get a haircut and get a real job

 

Who was that directed at?

 

Yep, page one :coffee:

Idc, you deserved it.

 

Drinking alone isn't much fun to me. Except when I am playing online poker.

 

I don't see a real problem with it. In moderation. I will drink a glass or two of wine alone from time to time but I'm rarely alone.
