When is it ok to drink by yourself?

tuesdays

 

Now would be the time...

 

i would say it would depend on how many drinks, if you drink to get drunk by yourself thats pretty sad, but having 1-2 beers isnt too bad.

i've come home at times from work totally stressed out and putting down a couple of brewskies help take the edge off.

 

It's never not okay.

 

getting drunk after a loss eases the pain so go for it

 

it's wrong to drink by yourself?

 

right now is the correct answer but I don't see in the poll.

 

If Kirilenko can cry over basketball, it's okay to drink alone after a playoff loss.

 

yea no one to buy you drinks

 

I came home from the game, and I'm still drinking. But, then again, that goes without saying...

Here's my take:

I've met people who will drink a 5th of vodka in the morning just so they can function. These people are alcoholics. Yet, the terminology gets so skewed these days that people don't even understand the illness anymore.

 

Why not roll some fat ones and smoke all night?

 

Where's the "It's always OK" option?

 

Some one argue that my last week or so at work would warrant getting drunk alone. Like, me for example.

 

i don't drink,I never have,but last night would have been a nice time to pick up the habbit .And how do I cover a hole in the wall?I need to invest in a punching bag.

 

only p*****s need their hands held

 

[If this is a serious thread]

Let me speak from experience when I say "no" to drinking alone. When you drink alone, you are drinking for the wrong reason. I drank alone for many years and deep down inside I was avoiding reality.

I don't consider drinking a laughing matter, when it becomes a problem.

Enjoying a few drinks in the company of friends is cool. I know plenty of people that drinking responsibly. It's those that feel like they need to heal their pain that scares me.

I quit drinking almost 9 months ago. It was the smartest thing I've ever done.

swilkins, i don't know, let's not get all AA here. trust me, i have serious issues with the sauce, but, to each his own. i'm dealing good cards nowadays, dunno.

 

Let's not get all AA here?!?!

Do you always say the first thing that pops into your mind. I went through tough times and I spoke about something I consider very serious, because a thread with this title can have serious implications. You respond in a very casual way that you have serious issues with your sauce and that your game of chance is going good.

I made no demands and judged no one. I'm not anti-alcohol.

Get over yourself.
