Thinking of going out for a couple of drinks on my own

jsmoke · 28 Mar 2013 at 18:24

Had a couple of beers, don't know anybody that wants to go out tonight, would you do it, live in a medium sized city. Done it a couple of times before and generally talked rubbish to bar staff. But is a bit intimidating and possibly sad?

Who cares what others think?

Personally I don't see any reason why I'd want to go out alone for some drinks. I just wouldn't find it an enjoyable experience.

Should I want them I can have them cheaper at home, with a comfortable sofa/chair/tv/internet/games/etc.

Too boring and too awkward for me.

Not done it with pubs, but done it loads of times at dance clubs (Godskitchen, Sundissential, Gatecrasher etc) as you're there for the music. This expanded to using the Sundissential forum and ended up meeting people that way so I wasn't going by myself any more.

Politicians? People who rely on the votes of people? I reckon they care! :eek:

Well it depends whether you just want to have alcohol - if so, buy some from an off license or supermarket and stay at home - or if you want to go and socialise and meet people, in which case go out.

And just install Grinder to your smartphone before you go. Will find you lots of friendly people!

Seems you've already had a few too many drinks, I would stay at home today mate

Craig1981 · 28 Mar 2013 at 18:49

I would only go out to drink alone if I was on holiday. Otherwise its kinda pointless. Easier and cheaper to just have a drink at home.

Do it, you might make new friends whilst there to go out drinking with

Politicians only care about their fat paycheck.

Why not, you never know who you might meet.

Sometimes a few quiet nips or pints, with reading material, is bliss.

/away off to George Street to meet some friends

Lies!

Bill Clinton also cared for a fat bird! Who was on her knees!

I will sometimes pop out to a pub to grab a pint etc. It may seem sad to some but I find it enjoyable to go and just think about things. I would liken it to someone who visits a coffee shop or something.

Do it.
