I think the "will you drink alone" question should be worded "Have a drink alone". It sounds more like getting drunk, and you already have that option and there is a huge difference between having a beer after you get home from work and winding down by yourself or killing a case by yourself...

I've done all of those things alone at one point or another. Some of them I only did once alone and did not enjoy it (concert), so will not do it by myself again. Others I've only done once on my own because I've only had a chance to do it once (vacation).

Sometimes people are annoying and I just want be alone, so I have no problem going out on my own if need be.

I wouldn't do almost all of those things alone or otherwise. That should have been the follow up question to each of those to see how many people actually give the slightest fuck. As it stands, there's no reason to think those that answer no would under any circumstances answer yes, very very flawed. BAD! You should be a statistician in fact.

You don't go to movies, eat, drink, go on vacation, or attend any sort of public performances? Ever?

That's my answer. You should be thanking me for pointing out that your poll is disfunctional.

I see movies, I don't GO to movies. I don't over-pay for food either, nor would I pay thousands of dollars to sit on a beach vaguely different than one near by. For public performances, if you consider watching two bums fight over a park bench a performance, sometimes, but this isn't something I make reservations for.

Do you get drunk alone? Often? Do you want to talk about it?

I've done everything on the list alone except vacation and concert. I'd do both of those alone too, doesn't bother me.

Theatre, fast food, noodle house, and drinking. The others are just weird. Knowing people who go on vacation alone gives me the creeps.

Why? It's great to get away from everyone and everything every now and then.

I have no problem doing any of the things you've listed alone, and have done so. Except for getting drunk. I never drink enough to get drunk. I call it personal responsibility.

My definition of a vacation is time spent w/ people I love, more specifically GF or wife. If I wanted space and get away from everyone, I could've gone to the local bar and drink till I black out, and at a much lower cost than traveling.

Same here. Hell, I prefer going to movies alone. Most people I know lack proper movie theater etiquette. I wouldn't even mind going to an exotic destination all by myself - I am good with people. I rule at making single-serving friends.

(BTW, I don't drink so I substituted pot with 'drink' and getting drunk with 'majorly stoned')

But you don't have to go on vacation alone if you don't want to duck billed platypus :lips:

Sadly enough I've done everything on that list alone.

Vacationing alone is the most fun though. Without anyone holding you back you are free to do whatever you want sans arguments, plus you meet so many more people when you are on your own which leads to insane times.

I'm surprised to see how many people will drink alone. I drink. I drink a lot. My buddy and I have a standing record in downtown st pete for tabs well over 75 bucks 16 days in a row at one bar. I have an appetizer beer every time I eat downtown somewhere. But I won't drink alone. Not one beer will I ever drink when no one else is around. Its a social thing and should stay that way. I can't do it.

Vacation? If I lost my job somehow today you wouldn't see me on this forum for 5 months. I'd be in Costa Rica without a soul that I know.
