Lonely drink

zSparc

Just curious how many of you are enjoying a lonely drink in front of the screen tonight? Jeez I think this has gotten beyond miserable, but I can't be arsed going out to those crowded pubs and banging music. Netflix, red wine and boards for me. Any more losers on the night shift here?

In Ireland, having a few quiet beers at home instead of drinking 20 pints in a nightclub definitely makes you a sad alcoholic.

Get help, pal.

I was doing same until a couple of buddies called over out of the blue. It's grand but a few times I've gotten totally blotto alone which is worrying!

Having a drink at home alone on a Saturday night doesn't make you more of an alcoholic than someone who might drink 3 or 4 times as much out with friends.

Denial usually comes first. Dont ley it beat you

Ah come on, I'm doing a server migration right now and I have to be available for any work-related calls. It's just boring, so I enriched the evening with a few glasses, what's wrong with that.
The point is, though, that I find it extremely miserable to stay in, work and drink on my own. I'd love to say "back in the day", but I won't...

It's my "Richard Cheese" evening.

I'm having a glass of Japanese whiskey.

Nothing lonely about it though. Just relaxing.

Well while I agree, I have to say that japanese whisky isn't most popular commodity. I'm only into Japanese movies, not drinks. Sorry bro.

Not sake, whiskey. This whiskey, to be exact.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Am in the middle of a 17-day working trip to Bahrain - haven't had a beer in ten days, probably won't for another week.

Feck off!

I don't get it, I thought tolerance works both ways...


Oh, wait...

GritBiscuit

Count your lucky starts. I was going to nip out and grab a few tins and got waylay-ed and now I'm left nursing a pint of ribena...

Grumble, grumble.

Is that Whisky any good @Osarusan? I might get my Dad a bottle. He's an aficionado of Whisk(e)y.

Also, what's Sake like? I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you've tasted it.

You know you've had enough when you can't repeat this;

"Whiskey makes you well when you're sick.
Whisky when you're well makes you sick."

Damn. Sorry about the double post. Some really weird sh!t going on when I tried to edit.

The Cool

Captain Morgans and Gilmore Girls on Netflix.
Been living in outer Dublin area a few years now and any friends I had around here have all moved home/elsewhere so weekends like this when himself is gone to visit the family, it's just me and the dog. Never thought my late 20s would be so thrilling!
Cheers big ears

captain dildano

Absolut pear vodka is lovely. I would never have thought so, but I'm having to switch from beer due to gassy stomach issues. I'm really surprised at how nice it is.

That one is quite good, but strong at 51%.

I've moved on to this one which is nice but too sweet.

Sake, like anything else, depends on the maker.

The best I've ever tasted was superb, and cost plenty, but you can also but 4 litres of sake for about 14 euro, so you can imagine how that tastes.

Fantastic. And I love the sountrack too.

I'm like that a lot since I reached my Thirties OP, think I'll buy a VR headset next LOL.

DVD-Lots

Skype club with a couple of mates. Admittadly one mate has joined us late as he was at a party and is now trying to force Tomorrowland videos on us. We're trying to enjoy EP but he's having none of it. We need a bouncer to throw him out soon.

prinzeugen

Do it all the time. Bottle of wine and flick through the channels. Found some great films that way.

Drinking alone does not make you an alcoholic or sad or a loner.

Some of us like the solitude to unwind. Could not be arsed with going out every Fri or Sat since I hit 26.

Speedwell

I'm 50. My husband sits up by himself a couple nights a week drinking beer and watching films on TV, which is fine with me because he also smokes and it always makes me sneeze, cough, and get a sore throat if I'm in the room with him. Tonight he's turned in early with a sore head and I'm up sipping a dram of something Scottish, single malt, and expensive.

EP is hardly cutting edge these days but Tomorrowland? FFS!

Outlaw Pete

Had drinks at the flicks. Popcorn, NoBo and beer. An interesting combo.

To be honest that makes no difference.
Although me being 39 I'd love a 50'ish lady to pop out with me some time, quality time, much better than cheap girls in their 20's if you ask me

I played a very unfit preseason 90 minutes earlier so these old legs had no intention of leaving the house this evening. Picked up 4 bottles of shipyard american on the way home. Tried to watch the UFC card but (8 months preggers)mrsTeal was not having the very substandard card so we started on Narcos season 2 instead. Her ladyship is now in slumberland so I'm enjoying my last bottle while watching college football. . .and an enjoyable evening was had!

scooby77

Few cans and watching "See no evil, Hear no evil" again for 1st time in 20 years given the week that's in it. Couldn't tempt herself to watch, so yep drinking on my own and enjoying a great film☺

Surreptitious

I didn't want my drink to get lonely so I made sure it had company
