    It's not a taboo it's early stages of alcoholism

    it's ok if you don't have a drink problem

    or you're not going way over safe limits for the week

    I just drink socially once a month now as I end up bingeing for a few days if I start drinking at home

    Same here, pretty much as every other Friday. I am so sick of work, people, problems, noise. All I want is to kick off my VMs and mess around, chill, post crap on boards, drink wine, smoke weed.

    Feck the world.

    Would ya feck off with that!!

    Nothing better than rustling up a steak dinner after a long week working and cracking open a few beers whilst watching a movie.

    Maybe a jameson as a wee nightcap.

    I'd often sup a few beers or stronger when playing Xbox, technically I'm not on my own but yeah, I can't understand the taboo either. It's probably down to the fact that the conception is drinking is to get blotto, as opposed to a glass of beer at lunch

    I always drink alone. On my second bottle of wine as we speak.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭takamichinoku


    Sure it's fine, just don't put it down on OKCupid for that "what I do on my friday nights" part of your profile, never put the truth down on that one, no one else seems to.


    A nice old session to drown in your sorrows once every few days weeks months is pretty underrated too

    A wise man once said

    'Sharing a drink they call loneliness is better than drinking alone'

    I think he's talking balls though, I could spend days enjoying my own company.

    I take it you also drink alone:)

    Question: when does ones drinking become unsocial?

    Answer: wait for it! It becomes unsocial when one does it alone

    Nothing beats an ice cold pint of cider on a warm summers evening after a week of work listening to overpaid idiots talk crap!
