I'm shitfaced alone right now. I don't subscribe to the religion-fueled stigma that society places on random people. I have ~70 years here to enjoy myself, why waste it wagging fingers at people or walking on eggs around those who do? What's really sad is people with so little to do they feel better about themselves by putting others down and trying to control them.

I'll have a beer or two by myself sometimes, but thats about it, generally.

for what it's worth, did you ever realize that most of thorogood's songs are covers?

don't drink alone, it seems sad

It is sad. It's somthing you do when you're sad. These bastards that drink alone for no good reason should be shot.

Take that attitude over to P&N! 😛

I drink with my good buddy weiser.

*Kudos to who knows the song I'm referencing.*

the lyrics for the whole song are already in the thread, if you didn't bother to read it.
 
I'm drinking a beer by myself at the moment; I'll occasionally have a glass of brandy over the course of an evening. That's about it.
 
do you have < 3 beer alone?
Shouldn't that be > 3 beers? They way your poll is, the people that don't drink at all, or have less than 3 beers alone would answer this, and the people that have > 3 alone would answer no. Sounds like a trick question. 😕 Surely the results are inaccurate.

do you get right pissed alone?
once or twice
'once or twice' what? a day, week, month, year, lifetime?

Are you buzzed? 😀

Where does this part fit in with the rest of the thread?

Is it bad to drink alone? No. (Although for me I really only have alcohol when I'm out with friends)

If it happens all the time it can be a red flag for other problems in which case the people who are close to you should be concerned (they shouldn't be pointing fingers though... rather they should try to be supportive if you need help).

I've never seen any "religious-fueled stigma" for drinking alone.

😕 I really dont see where it fits in...

I don't drink beer because I can't get drunk off it. When I drink, I drink vodka to the point where I pass out and more often than not, alone.

/this post was written under the influece of 0.7 littres of Saunalahti Vodka (finnish brand).

I recommend 90 AA meetings in 90 days. You can now find them by zipcode.

Heh. Basically you're poll is backwards...or is it? 🙂 Hey I'm drinking Don Julio and I noticed that!

And I realized 'move' isn't a color. 🙂

 
I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
You know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

Every morning just before breakfast,
I don't want no coffee or tea
Just me and good buddy Wiser,
that's all I ever need
'Cause I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

The other night I laid sleeping,
and I woke from a terrible dream
So I caught up my pal Jack Daniel's,
and his partner Jimmy Beam
And we drank alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

The other day 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
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

My whole family done give up on me,
and it makes me feel oh so bad
The only one who will hang out with me,
is my dear old granddad
And we drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself
