Drinking alone is a sign of a problem. No matter how bad it gets, I promised myself that I will never let it get to that.

:beer:
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

I used to get ripped all day long, every day, for a lot of years.
Getting shitfaced by your lonesome on a regular basis is a very good indication that you've got a problem, or you've got one coming.

I drink alone all the time.

I don't get drunk by myself, but I'll drink a glass of wine or beer with dinner and maybe a martini or coctail as a night cap before bed if I'm having trouble sleeping.

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 don't understand why getting plastered alone is considered "bad" and sign of a "problem".

I drink on every Friday night with friends while the rest of the week they are all busy working and can't drink at night. Since I'm at college (4.0 GPA baby) I can get right sh!tfaced and it won't matter the next day if I just sleep in...

I don't do it nightly to "drown my sorrows" or some emo blog reason. I just do it for fun a few times here and there. Kick back a twelve and order pizza, play some comp games and watch a movie. My roommates won't drink so that puts a kink in it to begin with.

I drink for the buzz [with or without friends]. I don't drink because its some "social" thing or to heatscore.

because you're far in the minority on this topic. The majority of people that get plastered alone have problems. There's always exceptions, and you're one of them.

mmm brandy,pretty much the only alcohol I drink anymore.Getting ready to do the same thing here after I pick the wife up from work because she refuses to drive in a blizzard :)

But to answer the question,yeah I drink alone.Usually on a friday or saturday night when nothing else is going on I stay up late with a few glasses of brandy and just relax and listen to music and actually check out the craziness here in OT and let the stress from the week go.Usually pretty messed up by the time I go to sleep :)

I used up all my party tickets when I was younger and I tend to be a mean drunk so its just a few beers when we go out or im with friends.
