Do You Ever Drink Alone---

Sprayber · October 13, 2003, 02:02

I have tried to avoid it since I got out of the habit of drinking alone after becky died. But last night I said what the hell and started again. Tonight I started to but ran out of alochol

So do you?

Drake Tungsten · October 13, 2003, 02:09

Yes. But only before work.

I used to do it before going to class.

even then I only drank 1 beer to unwind after work.

Nothing wrong with that. It's when you start drinking in class that you have problem.

Does the Lord count as a person?

Drake Tungsten · October 13, 2003, 02:50

Is your spouse a souse, DaShi?

Preaching to the choir, man.

Hardly ever, the amount I drink (alone) at home isn't enough to get to you for the evening. I'm a social drinker, if I enter a cafe I will order a beer and hardly ever a coke (until I drank enough that is

)

Jon Miller · October 13, 2003, 03:10

I don't think that women are evil

but than, I am not very lucky

I do, normally I just drink beer and watch the tube or surf the net though. I will also have wine with my dinner sometimes even when alone but since I have roommates I'm almost never alone.

Sprayber · October 13, 2003, 03:17

You light drinkers are no fun. We need some serious heavy drinkers here.

I wonder if there is a lonely drinkers club around.

Oerdin · October 13, 2003, 03:41

I save the heavy drinking for when I'm with friends. I used to get drunk and post here at poly on a regular bases but that loses it's a appeal after a while.

Chemical Ollie · October 13, 2003, 03:45

No, I don't drink alone. I always have you guys to talk to.

Alexander's Horse · October 13, 2003, 03:55

I quite enjoy drinking alone - either at home or in bars - but there are some things to bear in mind.

Firstly, I'm a happy drunk and can quite happily prop up a stool and while away the hours daydreaming over a few drinks - one of my favorite pastimes.

Secondly, I'm not disposed to become an alcoholic - I never "need" a drink and can go days or weeks without having any drinks. I think there's definitely something genetic about alcoholism cos I don't seem to have the gene for it.

Thirdly, I don't get much chance to do this anymore because of family commitments. But when I'm travelling, you'll always find me sitting quietly in a corner of a pub or bar nursing my drink and watching the world go by

But, if you aren't like me, I wouldn't recommend drinking alone.

I drank a 750 of rum by myself the other night. Does that count?

Main_Brain · October 13, 2003, 04:48

I never did.
Until Yesterday when I realized:
With the Internet on, you are never alone.

Made some C. Libre's after that.

The Mad Monk · October 13, 2003, 04:54

If I never drank alone, I'd never drink.

Cruddy · October 13, 2003, 06:15

I almost never drink alone.

I will have a stiff drink if I need to get a good nights sleep, but even then I rarely resort to alchohol.

Truth is, alcohol has a long shelf life in my home. I just don't feel the need to indulge very often.

Verres · October 13, 2003, 06:22

I drink alone a lot. Right now I could do with a couple of litres of absolut vodka. Getting thrown out of school for killing someone whilst in a drunken stupor seems strangely attractive atm.....

DanielXY · October 13, 2003, 06:35

@cruddy

Smoke Passion Flower for that...

Pekka · October 13, 2003, 06:46

Well I haven't had a single beer or anything else alcoholic in .. month now. I don't know why I have these huge drinkless gaps, but then I drink 348 beers at once to make it up. If it means drinking alone, then I do it alone. But that's rarely the case, but I don't find drinking alone negative, it's great. Especially when you start early, everyone is sober and you're drunk, that's fun.
