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

    You have a weak buzz sir
    can I interest you in the Buzz-o-matic 3000?
    It provides a superior buzz which is far more resistant to Eurovision classics than the usual brands

    If I had a can every time I saw a thread about drinking alone, I'd probably have a 6 pack. Woo free beer.

    It only becomes a problem when you run out!! Wouldn't see it as an issue. I'd have a bottle or two of wine a night watching tv, just to relax. Don't need an audience

    I'm drinking beers alone right now as I've had a really busy week and don't feel like talking to anyone. They're going down like sweet nectar!

    What difference would it make if a friend called over now and sat next to me. I'd still be consuming the same amount. Actually, I'd probably end up drinking more and faster if I had company.

    I don't see any problem at all with drinking alone once your reasons for doing so aren't negative. If you're drinking to relax and unwind then it's fair enough. If your drinking because you can't cope or want to escape then perhaps you need to check yourself.

    "Drinking alone is as bad as ****ing in company."

    To be honest, I don't see an issue in drinking on your own.

    Nothing like a quick belt of bourbon to sharpen a man up OP.

    Delicious bourbon, brownest of the brown liquors, so tempting.


    Excuse me.

    I'm not drinking alone, there's a bloke with binoculars staring in through the slightly ajar curtains. I'm drinking with him.

    Drinking alone is not healthy....drinking with others, is also not healthy. If drinking is what you want to do then do it and stop your b1tching!

    Wouldn't usually drink alone, much prefer being out with friends or whatever. That being said, I was out last Saturday and it was crap so I grabbed a few cans and went home, happy days :)

    Whatever you're into really

    Drinking alone is totally cool.....as long as there is stopping at a normal time. Just like there would be on a regular night out

    It shouldn't become something you rely on (Heineken in hand as I type) :-)

    90% of my drinking is done with friends/family etc but every now and then it's nice to sit down and relax on your own and get hammered!
