Drinking Alone at home.

Psychlops

Whats you view on this?


I have no problem with it at all as long as yo know your limit & enjoy it.


Personally when im off work the next day ill happily stay up late & sip some whiskey as I watch some of my favourite TV shows like Billions & Ray Donovan or The Young Pope.


I wouldnt dream of doing it if im working the next day.


What say you AH?

If you feel like a drink have a drink.
If you don't feel like a drink don't have a drink.

Same limits apply whether at home or on a night out.

The enjoyment of alcohol does not always necessitate the company of others imo.
But there will be those who preach the opposite.

I don't see any issue with a drink when home alone. I'm having a brandy right now and savouring it.

That the company of others necessitates the enjoyment of alcohol?

:pac:

Do it Friday and Saturday night, love it, people have being doing it for 100s of years, herself has a glass or 2 of wine!
Beats listening to rubbish off some drunkard in an empty pub

Having 3-4 nice beers at home with your wife is clearly the sign of a raving alcoholic and social retard, whereas having 20 pints in the local followed by a scrap and a charge sheet shows admirable joie de vivre and is the mark of a true Irishman.

If you want a drink, have a drink. Other people only make most activities less enjoyable anyway.

At the weekend, yes.
But never on a work night.

What do you think of it? Im partial to Dead Rabbit Whiskey, Connemara, Laphroaig or The Glenlivet & of course Jameson.

I can enjoy drinking without other people, it's enjoying other people without drinking that's the problem.....

Prominent_Dawg

Don't see why that would be an issue

On Friday nights I’d come home from work, plans to do something but after sitting down, after a busy as fûck week I’d be done... after eating I’d be knackered, not fit to move. Got into the habit of getting 3x 600ml of Becks or 1664 both which then my local Spar was doing 3 for 9 euros which is great value... just kicking back on my own, weight and stresses of the week evaporating, not having to deal with the busyness of a Friday around the local, feet up, TV, iPad and a waterfall of stress from a busy week, stressful job, evaporating away...

Having a hot Powers now to kill this dose and it's damn lovely.

Drinking right now, hard week in work, long day with the young lad he's 3 and a half so damn right I'm gonna wind down with a bottle of vino and the newest season of family guy on dvd, booyakasha!

I used to drink much more by my lonesome but I have luckily found during the last few months that I hardly fancy it anymore.

That said its a lonely saturday night now so maybe I'll make myself a G&T.

Loooooooser. Looooooooooooooser.



Is that what you believe people will think? Just drink mang.

Nothing wrong with a couple of drinks to relax tbh!

JustAThought

I must have a biological clock for booze. Invariably the exact time I start to think ‘lovely calm night,work,shower,long fay and commute done, might do x and have a glass of wine’ is 9:50 pm and I am guilted out of trying to beat the booze police and get to an offie or supermarket in the next 10 mins (impossible).I have now loaded up on delicious alcoholic supplies as it has happened so often - and yes - I’m far more likely to only have one or maybe two glasses or one or two shots if I am am home relaxing cos we all know its not worth the taxi/trip into town and organisational aggravation to only have one, out.

Despite all government warnings, Its far less alcoholic to stay and have one IN. but of course far les tax revenue for them from that.

Better than having to put up with the local piss head in the pub. Of course the people in the pub will wonder where you are and say " wheres the piss head tonight?"

RobertKK

There is no issue with anyone enjoying a drink alone at home, vast vast majority of people are not alcoholic.

Sky King

Drinking alone is the only way I can be guaranteed intelligent, excellent company.

Why do English speaking countries do this, say vino instead of wine. I doubt Spanish/Italians say blah blah blah, wine.
Please don’t think I’m having a go or a dig, just something I see/hear and am curious as to why?

As to actually having a drink, fuppin’ dry January.

Porklife

I really enjoy coming home on a Friday evening after a long week and opening a bottle of vino. I don't see what difference it makes if somebody is there with me or not. At least at home you're limited to how much you can have whereas in the pub you can always have "one for the road".
With drinking I always think your mindset and reason for drinking come into play. If you're drinking for the wrong reasons your location or who you're with is irrelevant. If you're happy and content then drinking alone should be enjoyable and relaxing as opposed to an escape route.

JustAThought

c’mon now. whats all this friday nonsense. Tuesday or Wednesday are great days for it - breaks the week up nicely too and makes the paypacket streatch til out nights!

Having a Jager now. Still almost 700 mL to go...lol

Stacksofwacks

A few cool bottles whilst relaxing at home by the TV is lovely. Sets me up for a nice relaxing nights sleep.

Having a hot whiskey. Throat killing me
Fite me

threetrees

Ah nothing wrong with a couple of drinks and the telley for company. Not binging or drinking like a fish, just a couple of relaxing drinks at the weekend watching telley.

This is it

I have no issue with it but it's not something I enjoy. Once or twice a year at most I'd have a nice whiskey but that's about it

Drinking at home alone or in company is one of the safest and easiest ways of enjoying a drink and the effects of alcohol.

Crossover in languages is common. English words like weekend and download have made their way into other languages. It is so widespread that Spanglish, Anglitaliano and Franglais have come into English to describe them.

Much safer at home to have a drink or two then hit the bed rather than hanging around chippers or taxi ranks. No stress.

Boredstiff666

Did you know that in times of old and not so long ago that people drank beer all the time, all ages, day and night because it was safer than drinking the water.

Drinking wine was same as drinking tea and coffee simply because there was no such thing as tea or coffee and certainly not coca cola etc.

In other countries they do same today but somehow now people are trying to demonise anything to do with alcohol or meat.

Strange world.

That's often because for new concepts they don't have native words to express what they want so say fully or correctly. That wouldn't be true of vino which is only used for stylistic purposes in English.

and teally means not expensive supermarket wine bought incidentally without much thought or any wine expertise for the sole reason of unsobering up.Usually at home and sole or with the missus.

It only works if you know your limit and don't drink EVERY night.
