Any of you ever drink at home alone?

I bought a six pack and am indulging watching a good movie. My friends are a bunch of doosh bags.

Just curious...

Yeah, it's nice sometimes. If your friends suck, make friends with better people.

Or maybe you're the problem as well? If everyone you meet seems like a jerk, it's probably just you. Jut trying to help.

I have a few bottles are home for the few times I ever have a real bad day at work that I need a drink or two to settle the nerves or whenever I use it in cooking. Straight up drinking though I don't all too much.

I would warn you to be careful. Drinking by yourself at home can be one of the first signs of alcoholism. The habit can be insidious whereby it will develop over many years without one moment where you realise you are drinking too often which is affecting other aspects of your life.

I do it once in a while... basically when I'm either stressed out or having a bad day and nobody is available to go out.. and I need to unwind. It makes me feel better.

Gaucho, Mayweather Ortiz is almost here, Ortiz is looking strong... you think there could be an upset?

I drink by myself probably two or three times a week. Its an end of the day thing ive started doing ever since I turned 21 a couple months ago. While working on homework, dinner or just watching tv with 4 or 5 drinks is completely relaxing for me. Sometimes beer, sometimes liquor.

Im well aware its a sign of alcoholism but I never lose control of my drinking in social settings or when im alone. I never black out and I always know when to stop.

My drinking has almost never negatively impacted my relationships with friends and family; which I personally think is the biggest factor when looking for an alcohol problem.

I try to drink a glass of red wine after every meal for health purposes, and usually do till I run out of wine and become lazy and don't go get another bottle for weeks ;)

The only other alcohol I drink is when going out with friends to the club to loosen up. I try not to drink beer at home to not develop a habit of it. I rather keep beer for socializing.

I'm a full blown alcoholic, so yes. I prefer social drinking, but if it's not the weekend or no one wants to hang out it doesn't stop be from indulging in my beer time.

Yeh, almost here, pretty exciting card actually. I think Mayweather wins this hands down though, just picks Ortiz apart and pot shots him to an easy win. Of course, there is always the chance of a 1 punch KO, but slim chances here I think.

Sir Psycho, definately impacting friends or family is the biggest problem, anything other damage your doing is most likely only to your own health which is entirely upto you.

I'll drink beer out with friends but almost never buy beer for the house. I just don't get anything out of drinking beer at home. But a nice couple glass's of wine makes you mellow and is very enjoyable.

I want to hate George Thorogood but can't...

The other day I got invited to a party,
but I stayed home instead
Just me and my pal Johnny Walker,
and his brothers Black and Red
And we drank alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself
