Do you ever drink alone or at home?

[LoveToStack]

Title says it all really, do you ever have a few beers or open a bottle of wine at home to relax or simply to enjoy the drink itself?

Personally it's not something I've ever done; drinking is something I'd only consider doing in a social situation. Sometimes I do feel like it would be nice to kick back with a drink but at the same time I feel like drinking alone is probably a slippery slope and I'm also inclined to believe that drinking less alcohol is always a good thing, despite studies about "drinking X glasses of wine Y times a week" being beneficial.

What are your thoughts on drinking alone or drinking at home?

totally the same i don't enjoy drinking unless its with friends, i rarely even have a glass of wine with my mum, only time i will is if family are over and even then i won't drink to the excess i do when with friends. sometimes tempted to buy alcohol when i'm shopping to have a few during weekends im not out but then id prob end up doing it all the time which i don't want. been a few times ive finished off bottles from the weekend but generally save them for the next time i wanna get proper drunk.

i never drink at home unless it's christmas, i don't like it otherwise. i only ever drink if i'm at a party anyway really!!

Well I don't really drink, a little drink every few months perhaps. But if I do, I don't like to drink at home, not sure why, but I it's always been the same with my family, my parents refused to drink in the house and only did if they went out.

I find it sad if people drink alone, I just wanna hug em

from time to time, calmed down a lot now though. In March I was getting through about a bottle of wine a night? I'll now have the odd drink if I feel like it.

If I was meant to be going out, pre-drinks or I'm just relaxing. Don't really think it's terrible. It's like a social life minus the friends.
Don't go mental or anything only have 1-2.
