Drinking alone

[sudsmonkey]

Do you ever have trouble finding someone to drink with, or just don't want to ? Is this a sign of a problem ? Does drinking alone make you an alcolholic, or just selfish? IMO, drinking here doesn't count as alone. I know you guys are there with me. :cross:

 

[Sir Sudster]

Depends on what your drinking.

 

[sudsmonkey]

How about homebrew , as opposed to corn liquor or a heroin cocktail? Help me out here, man !

 

[Sir Sudster]

Usually, drinking alone means you don't have any friends to drink with . Now, this can be the result of , well one, body oder. Else two, people just don't like you and would prefer you sit in the corner like that street person. Or three, it's a work night and people have responsibilities... . All in all, it's really a matter of choice.

 

[sudsmonkey]

Damn ! I just realized that I qualify for all three ! Now I'm kinda down. Need another beer to help me through. .... Note to self; shower and find friends.

 

[Sir Sudster]

You have just taken the first step...eleven to go my friend.

 

[sudsmonkey]

Gotta get a sponsor. When do I get the chip to carry around ? Other than the one on my shoulder .
Just noticed that you used virtually the same line on me as you did on Scott T. I feel so dirty !

 

[Sir Sudster]

Well, it's brewing weather now and we don't normally give chips out during brewing season. But, we are thinking about brewing a Kellerbier and it requires alot of chips. You could come by and we'll let ya hold the bag.
Take a shower before ya come and I'll introduce ya ....maybe.

 

[sudsmonkey]

Tell you what, I'll even brush my teeth. I get to hold the bag !

 

[Sir Sudster]

Ya might want to check your PM's , never can tell when a drinking buddy has lost their sense of decency.

My wife doesn't drink so I almost always drink alone...

 

[Orfy]

Your never alone when you drink,you always have a friend in your hand.

 

[dancingbarefoot]

Most of the friends I've made since I moved to Texas don't drink much or at all - I keep wondering how the hell THAT happened! - so I tend to drink alone. Either I'll be the only one drinking, or I drink at home alone. (Wow, that sounds pathetic, doesn't it? )

 

[david_42]

I drink alone almost all of the time, but only a pint or two. It's when I'm at a club meeting trying everybody's homebrew that it things get fuzzy.

 

[SwAMi75]

I likes my beer whether there's others around, or not! It's more fun as a social thing, though.

I like drinking with friends but I’ve been consistently surprised that my friends don’t have the home brew passion i do.

So, i drink alone a lot.....but it’s ok.

I’m not drinking and driving....I’m home with wife and family....enjoying an evening of football...or pandora..or my recliner ...

The thing about drinking alone is I get to pick the music...i get to decide when it’s time for bed...don’t have much cleanup in AM...and never asked to do alphabet backwards...

I think drinking alone gets a bad rap...I’m a happy guy...i have an awesome family...a good job...my parents are wonderful people.

So, here’s to drinking alone...enjoy..be safe..and turn up the music...life is good!

[Murphys_Law]

My wife went back to FL to help her mother so I’m having a steak and a home beer...ALONE!

Hell, I’ll probably break out a little wine or a scotch here soon.

And I’m as happy as can be! [emoji1]

 

[agrazela]

Your never alone when you drink,you always have a friend in your hand.

And a beer in the other!

 

[dawn_kiebawls]

My wife doesn't drink more than a few beers a year and I'm not a very social person in general. So, we got a dog and I let her (dog, not wife) sample my brews so I don't have to drink or brew alone anymore!

 

[day_trippr]

Some great scenes in that...

 

[catdaddy66]

Some great scenes in that...

Damn! You beat me to it.

How could you not be that means porn with the volume on

 

[cubalz]

I will have a couple of drinks in a social setting or alone after a hard days' work while my wife cooks dinner. I see no issue with either or the need to self-evaluate. I do not drink at the brewery where I work though.

[KIDD69]

Quite often I’ll stop at the local Brewery on my way home from anywhere for a pint of whatever I’m in the mood for, and I usually sit at the bar by myself and chat with the bartenders. Yes I drink alone.

 

[imnotcassie]

I drink alone a lot. I go to the local place for a bit and have a brew. Or ill pick up a 6pk on the way home. My first batch of home brew is still doing its thing but I suspect I'll be mostly drinking that alone too.

 

[Beer666]

I spent a lot of my younger days in pubs but now i drink almost always alone.

[smurfjuice]

I don't worry about drinking alone, i know i will have company sooner or later ...

“And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again, here I go again,
Here I go again, here I go”

—Whitesnake

 

[Redpappy]

I never did care for the bar scenes. I have always enjoyed having the drink at the house. Just because once I had enough I could always climb my happy but in bed. My wife doesn't drink, so I pretty much drink alone all the time. Me personally, I think when you can not go a day without a brew, then that is when you have an issue.. Every now and then I will go a day with out a brew just to check to make sure I'm not having an issue.

there are many things that can be done alone.....or with others.

 

[GnenieGone]

When I head here this week for the 1st time, I'll think of you Suds...unless you want to be left alone unthought of. [emoji39]

 

[bobeer]

We have 2 little kids so I drink when they're in bed. Some times it's alone and some times it's with my wife. I share my beer when I can but I don't really hang out with many people who really like beer so I have to drink it all. I mean it's not going to drink itself.

 

[Steveruch]

I have a beer whenever I want. Whether I'm with someone or alone is irrelevant.

 

[SEndorf]

A curious construct...
"drinking alone" is irrelevant. It's how much you drink, regardless of others around you, that might be examined. Sometimes I have a few pulls while sitting by myself watching TV. Many other times I'm with friends. Alone or with people, is not an issue that would indicate some sort of "problem"....

 

[Redpappy]

Out of curiosity, is it considered drinking alone when your wife sits by you while you drink? ( My wife does not drink at all)

 

[imnotcassie]

I am sure there is a name for that but "drinking alone" is not it.

If you're logged into MV it's perfectly fine.

It might cause you to dredge up 13 year old threads though.

I enjoy a beer when I get home and occasionally a little bit of Port or scotch before I go to bed after the wife has gone to bed but I rarely get hammer, not even a light a buzz. Getting buzzed alone often is a sign of a problem.
