Do you drink alone?

[.Ox.]

I occasionally drink alone and every so often will get drunk by myself and enjoy it too.
Usually in slight company of others, vent or phone etc.

I don't drink alone to get drunk on purpose, sometimes i just fancy a beer after a hard day at work.

When i am out with people i usually avoid having a few for social reasons. On the fact that its not very good for your health to just go for a few each night.
I will drink water. Bar maids often give me funny looks. But on the dieting and exercise side of things i was losing weight and toning up while all my uni friends got bigger because of how much they drank.

Binge drinking often makes up for this, but I'm not the sort that goes out every weekend without fail, you will be lucky to see me out once a month.

Sometimes you can't help yourself with treble vodkas and mixer for £2 a pop.

I'd have a couple of glasses of wine at home if my wife was out and I fancied it with dinner. I travel a lot for work and am often on my own, I certainly have a drink with dinner then (someone else is paying so sometimes I have quite a few).

 

[randomshenans]

I do, like I had a bottle of Becks last night with my dinner. Just fancied a beer.

I have had a bottle of wine and a bit before on a friday night when I was alone, didn't realise I'd gone through it all as was watching a film.

Drink to drink, not to get drunk though. Don't see the point in going out to get smashed on my own, sitting on the sofa. Yay...

 

[A.N.Other]

If the gf is away on work then I'll buy a bottle of wine for the evening and settle down to a film or something. Don't drink to get hammered or anything, though.

 

[Lysander]

All the time. It's great.

 

[krooton]

A single drink in the eve on my own very rarely, and I have no problem getting tipsy when online gaming provided vent/teamspeak/etc are being used.

Would never get ****faced on my own though.

Drinking to get drunk? No.

Drinking because I fancy a drink and accidentally getting drunk in the process? Sometimes

I accidentally all the vino.

 

[alexakasloth]

Sometimes a beer/glass of wine with dinner or scotch after as a means to relax.

 

[AGD]

Literally never. But then I always drink to much when out with friends.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN PEOPLE STOP CALLING WHISKY WHISKEY!?

They might be right to call it whiskey - if it's Irish or American (many although not all use that spelling). If it's Scottish whisky then you're right and they're wrong though of course.

Whiskey = Irish
Whisky = Scottish

I drink Irish, thus Whiskey and given that the majority of historical evidence points toward Ireland being the birthplace of modern whiskey, ipso facto it would be the correct spelling.

So in short, no. Don't bring caps lock to a pedant's revolt.

I once sat playing Team Fortress 2 with a 10 glass of vodka and a bottle of coke. I woke up the next morning terribly hungover and with no vodka or coke left. I then checked my computer to see whether I'd left any evidence of what I'd been up to and lo and behold found about 10 screenshots of me as top of the server

Were you hosting an empty server?

Brilliant.

I drink at home, mainly because I like the taste of things I drink and do not do it to get smashed.

 

[Vonhelmet]

I often have a glass of wine by myself in the evening, after the wife has gone to bed.

I suddenly NEED a drink.

 

[kwerk]

I drink alone all the time, like when I'm mowing the lawn. What else is the beer holder for on the lawn mower??

 

[wez130]

I often find myself looking forward to a beer or two at home in front of the tele. Even though I'm not going to get drunk, it seems to be more enjoyable than just, say, like coke or water.

I'm drinking alone now!

I don't do it to get drunk,

 

[shifty_uk]

Drinking to get drunk? No.

Drinking because I fancy a drink and accidentally getting drunk in the process? Sometimes

This. I'm not a drinker myself but don't see anything wrong with having a bottle or two during a night of gaming or whatever else floats your boat. I'm sure I've done it a few times in the past.
