Drinking alone?

Question

People say I'm an alcoholic because I drink alone. But I just don't like people and thus do everything alone (not just drink). If its OK to read alone, or listen to music alone, or eat alone, why can't I drink alone?

Answer 1

Nothing wrong with drinking alone. i also drink alone and enjoy it much more. No fighting with anyone or someone to tell you you had to much to drink.

Answer 2

I suppose it just depends on how OFTEN you're drinking alone. It sounds to me like you need to get out and socialize. Maybe these people assume that because you drink alone is the reason they never see you. How do they know you're at home, or alone, reading, writing, listening to music? They're all probably assuming you're alone, at home, in a drunken, shameful black-out. Set em straight, and get out into the world, you've only got this one chance to live.

Answer 4

Answer 5

I much prefer to drink alone, when you drink with other people you have to share the booze with them!!!

As long as you're not getting drunk alone, having a glass of wine or a beer or two is no big deal.
