    Well, barring all 'omg dont drink' comments, what are your opinions on drinking alone? Does it make you an alcoholic? Is it something that you shouldn't do? Is it only ok on the weekend?

    it doesn't make you an alcoholic as long as you can drink it without getting completely wasted, and can function without it.

    Personally I think It's perfectly acceptable. Sometimes you just need to chill out, and alc lets you do just that. If you're boozin' then stuff just seems to be a lot simpler.

    Heh, drinking alone is good under any circumstance. Though, it's not as fun as with other people, but it's all good none the less.

    Alcohol wins:).

    I fully agree with you smelly, I always come in from work and crack open a few cans then off to be rather relaxed and still fully incontrol.

    I think it's fine as long as you call your friends and make them laugh.

    I think a few beers after work is ok but I also think for some people it's very dangerous territory to be going in to. If you already have the predisposition for alcoholism then it's far too easy to turn a few beers into a case of beer, or a bottle of liquor without seeing any difference yourself.

    Edit: And damn this thread, now I want a guinness.

    Of course not.
    I used to play Halo 2 and I always had a couple of beers before. It made the game much more fun ^^
    Besides, there's nothing wrong with having a whisky late night when you're having your coffee.
    And beer is just plain good.
    But of course, it's the quantity that decides how much one should drink, just as it is when you're not drinking alone.
    As long as you know your limits, it's perfectly okay =)

    Alcohol is a drug, and drinking with people is stupid enough, because God knows what they could convince you into doing with their mind all clustered. Alone, I think you're free from that dangers, but there's also nobody sober to talk you out of driving somewhere, or, as many of you don't or do know, alcohol is a depressant, and if you're sitting alone drinking, and things haven't been going to well, suicide seems a lot better drunk and alone.

    Therefore, I think it's bad.

    When Im drunk Im not stupid enough to drive anywhere and neither are the people I hang out with.

    People use the excuse that the were drunk to try and cover alot of stuff ( driving, cheating ect.) and make them un responsible for their actions but I think thats bull.

    You can still know what your doing

    It depends. If you are just having one or two whilst watching TV or reading a book or something then it is fine.

    But if you drink on your own to make yourself get drunk then there is something weird about that :S
