Drinking is typically a social activity, but if you just want to have fun and don't want to go out, I don't see anything wrong with it. However, if it becomes a regular activity, I would be concerned.

it's a depressant. if you're gonna do anything alone, do a bunch of coke or crystal meth - then you'll start feeling like a real winner

I don't think a blanket statement saying it's bad is accurate. I've done it and I will continue to do it. Drinking has never affected my life in a negative fashion. So what if mrsskoorb goes to bed and I want to play video games and suck back a few? No harm done!

I'm just drinking a beer right now, just got back from a night at a concert/bar.. I don't think there's anything wrong with having a beer or something, but if your drinking to get drunk alone then it's pretty sad. I think you either drink to have fun or drink to get rid of your problems for a night, and if you're by your lonesome then its probably the latter reason.

Incidentally, I am currently drinking a beer myself. My friend is in the other room watching TV, but I am sitting here alone.

to me having a beer just to kick back is more than acceptable

I'm drinking alone. Sometimes, I like to have a few after work. So I'll have 3 beers and eventually go to bed. I don't get bombed though. There isn't much point in that, IMO.

I'm in one of the 6 states left with a 1 AM bar close, so sometimes, you can't go out. Luckily, we're finally getting a 2 AM bar close sometime this summer. So, the number of states will be down to 5, and my awesome state won't be one of them!

Has it ever had a positive effect on your life though ;) That's why I quit drinking. Of course, I also suck at moderation so that was part of my problem.
