Wouldnt have the guts tbh! In theory id love to think i could but... nope. Wouldnt you be bored without anyone to chat to? Altho you could get chatting to other people there... id say if you think you have the guts then go for it... how bad!

If not im sure someone on here will volunteer to keep ya company!

AARRRGH

I've done it a few times. It can be slightly depressing, but I normally get chatting to someone.

I don't think it means you're an alco' or anything like that!

The Mezz is a good place to meet people if you're drunk/alone/etc.

I'd only do it if I was going to watch a match in a pub or something. At least that would keep me occupied, think it'd be too boring otherwise. Old men are great for it though, you always see them alone at the bar!

godtabh

If done it at home watching a match or tv or what.

I've had a drink or two while waiting for people to arrive but I dont know if I'd go out on my own to have drinks.

Ive done it once, but it was straight away after an event in my life I want to forget... found the smallest darkest pub possible in town and went on the shorts all day...

i dunno about doin it for the craic on a Saturday night! but ya never know ya might meet the girl of your dreams!!

Fajitas!

I have a tendancy to go out on my own, but randomly meet loads of people. Often had the best nights on my own, and meeting randomers, depends on how...social... you get though. Shur, plan for 2 pints, and see how it goes. You can always ring other people when you get to the pub like! Or go to a gig. There's usually loads on on a sat night.

AARRRGH

I agree Fajitas.

My take on it is: better to regret something you've done than haven't done!

Worst case scenario you have a hangover the next day, and your wallet is a little lighter. Best case scenario you wake up with a young one next to you (etc etc.)

Goodshape

Yea, if you want a few pints then go for it.

I wouldn't see the problem in going to a pub on your own -- I've done it a fair few times and can't remember one of them where I was still on my own by the end of the night. Usually meet some interesting people.. usually good nights.

Sitting on your own in the corner and knocking back the vodka all night is a different story.

Go get a few cans thats what id do then bring um home if u dont want to go out by urself;)

Sounds like you have an alcohol problem!

It's not right to have such a longing for a drug!

yeah i never understood that. my mates and i always sit in the bar rather than the lounge because we're boring people who like to sit and have a pint without too many people around. there's always 5 or 6 old men sitting facing away from each other at random intervals. i don't understand why they don't just talk to each other

An alcohol problem for wanting a few pints on a saturday night? Don't think so. Useless mates is what he has

Eminem

That dosent make some an alcholic because they want a few pints

shuushh

rent out a dvd and have a few cans

youll be bored and picking at the beer mats by the end of the first pint if you go out

If it was just alcohol I wanted I'd be quite contented to sit in with a few cans. Just in the mood for goin out thats all!
Xzanti thought you had a boyfriend? Not sure he'd be too impressed with you goin out with random guys off the internet!

muckwarrior

Woo hoo. Realised that I texted one of me mates on his old number. Texted him again and hes in the mood for a wrongin!

Fajitas!

Nice one.

Have a good night!

LOL. I think you need to read the rest of that thread! Twould have been funny though if we'd met up and you were expectin a chick

JohnK

I've gone out by myself a few times so I dont think theres anything wrong with it.

daiixi

hahaha how funny! I'd go out with ya too but I'm happy staying in (flat to myself tonight - wahoo!) and am happy with my bottle of wine ask again another time!

TheVan

Grand i suppose if you're pretty sure you'll be able to get chatting to someone but personally i probably wouldnt for exactly that reason!

Once in a while its prob ok to sit at home with a can or two but it's prob not the best idea!

mikemac

I wouldn't be brave enough. I'd spend my time worrying that the bar staff and other people thought I was a loner.

It'd be ok if there was a match on but not on a weekend night.

All the same, I often go to the cinema on my own

You'd have got the business end of my handbag around your ear :v:


For the record I wasnt actually going to leave the bosom of my cosy flat to venture out and meet a stranger off the net.. I was jesting

Really?!?! I think there's nothing better than a quiet night in with a bottle of wine!!!! It's cheaper and it's harder to make an arse of yourself!

Wouldn't usually do it but did recently in Dubai as my mate had to go somewhere quickly but all ended well as i got talking to a few birds and ended up bringing one back to my pad and giving her the large one

That's what i was thinking as well

muckwarrior let us know how you got on if you did go out on your own on the gargle last nite

deaddonkey

I do it a lot.

It's impossible to go to the palace bar and not meet people.

Same goes for the mezz, as someone said. It's always fun, even if the bands suck most of the time.

kaimera

I used to do it a few years ago.

At the time I was working two jobs, a Tuesday to Friday in Dublin, and barwork, Friday to Sunday [nights]

Monday was my only day off. I used to get the 11.45 bus into town and go to the bar I worked in.

Drank by myself till the bus back home at 2.30...did this for 12 weeks.

Not a great thing imo but I've gone past that tbh.

I don't know about that... I still manage to embarrass myself in front of the cat when I've had too much wine while sitting at home.

Fast_Mover

Fajitas!
