drinking (alcohol) alone at home - what's the point?

Says you.

Having a drink != getting drunk. It seems many people here do not understand this.

I can have 3 beers and not feel even the slightest thing, though I rarely have more than 2 when I am on my own.

i don't understand the point of drinking alone, even at a bar but esp. at home.
if i'm having a steak dinner at home with the gf, we'll bust out a bottle of red wine, but if i ate the same dinner alone, i wouldn't bother.

i drink to loosen up at parties with friends since i'm a different beast when inebriated. getting drunk alone is just... i dunno, pointless IMO.

so who drinks alone?

drinking natty lite or PBR or crap beers at home alone = drinking problem

drinking a nice fine wine or belgian ale at home to enjoy the taste is a soothing experience.

Uh...people who drink for the right reasons -- i.e. people who actually enjoy their alcohol and don't just imbibe because they think it makes them look cool or to get drunk.

I drink one or two beers at home during the weekdays, just to chill out and relax.

I drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
I drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.

Now, every morning, just before breakfast,
I don't want no coffee or tea.
Just me and my good buddy Weiser.
That's all I ever need.

Cause I drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
I drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.

Now, the other night I lay sleeping,
And I woke from a terrible dream.
So I called up my pal, Jack Daniels,
And his partner Jimmy Beam.

And we drank alone, yeah, with nobody else.
We drank alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.

Well, the other night I got invited to a party,
But I stayed home instead.
Just me and my pal Johnny Walker,
And his brothers Black and Red.

And we drank alone, yeah, with nobody else.
We drank alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.

Well, my whole family done give up on me,
And it makes me feel so bad.
The only one who'll hang out with me
Is my dear old Granddad.

And we drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
We drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.

Says anyone who likes to smoke on a regular basis. Most people know that weed != alcohol in any way except the fact that your state of mind is altered. Alcohol is a party drug, weed is a relaxation drug (although they're not mutually exclusive).

Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself
O alcohol, I still drink to your health

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol

Forget the caffe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea
A malibu and coke for you, a g&t for me
Alcohol, your songs resolve like
My life never will
When someone else is picking up the bill

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
O alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
Ill use something else

I thought that alcohol was just for those with
Nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk
Was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that theres a time
And theres a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between
Self-control and self-abuse

Again, stating opinion as fact. Both are relaxation or party drugs. Either can be enjoyable alone or with others.

Drunk and Gaming the unbeatable home alone combo.

Exactly. I like to have a beer at the house from time to time but then again I'm not drinking Bud Light. I'm usually drinking some micro brew with flavor. I'm not sure where the connection between beer = party has started but it must be by someone in college.

I only drink alone when I'm in the closet.

Yea, I use a beer all the time to relax. Hard day at work, or just a random chunk of spare time where I'll bring up an episode of a tv series I've missed or a movie I haven't seen and relax with the beer in hand before I go to bed.

Well, when I come out of the closet there are usually people around so I'm no longer alone.

I drink alone. I don't get drunk, but that's just because I'm an alcoholic, and it's impossible for me to get drunk.

define heavily. heavily for me means 3 bottles of wine or 12-15 beers a night.
