I don't see anything wrong with having a drink and relaxing when you are alone.

Answer 4

For refreshment ok

Otherwise a problem

Answer 5

depends who you pissed off

Answer 6

Drinking alone is fine.

Getting drunk alone is kinda weird and could lead to alcoholhism or something else.

But then again I've gotten high by myself because I've been self concious.

Answer 7

You're an alcoholic.

Answer 8

I think it depends if you are talking about a couple drinks or getting drunk. That person in George's song also couldn't keep a job or pay rent. He ended up homeless in a bar with his good ole buddy's:~)

Answer 9

if you do it everyday by yourself, once in a while is okay but otherwise you might wnat to find some friends ;))

Answer 10

There's not a thing in the world wrong with it.  A good friend of mine once said "I do my best drinking when I'm by myself!"

Answer 11

I don't think it's weird, nothing wrong with having a glass or four of whiskey to help you fall asleep at night!

Answer 12

I prefer it.

People get annoying when they drink, if you drink alone you don't have to put up with idiots.

Answer 13

no, well if you are super mad or sad then it's not weird :)

Answer 14

Life sucks! drink up. Maybe part of the reason you're drinking alone is because; you are alone.

Answer 15

i do drink alone... most around me have quit drinking because of bad situations caused by alcohol.

seems i'm the only one now..   i guess i was the only boring drunk in the batch.

not that i'm complaining.

Answer 16

kind of sad actually, if you are just drinking. If you are having some alcohol with your meal then a nice glass of properly paired beer or wine is perfectly fine.

Answer 17

  No there is Not a DAM thing wrong with drinking alone.   I think some times your Better off alone.  Drink  one for ME !   I have Drank with George Thorogood at DeerPark  in Newark Delaware.    And I know the Song real good        I DRINK ALONE !

Answer 18

It's weird to get smashed alone, if you have a couple drinks it's not that bad.

Answer 19

Usually after a hard days work or a long night of studying I enjoy a cold one.

Answer 20

Nah, so long as you keep it "normal". You know... not stinking drunk.

But a few beers or wine aint no big deal.

Answer 21

Not really.  I mean, if you live alone, why do you have to invite someone over just to have a couple glasses of wine with dinner and a movie?  It's different though when you get soused and pass out on the couch with a bottle in your hand.  That's bad.

Answer 22

honestly depends, on how much you are drinking. If its like a beer or two, i wouldn't consider it weird. I used to that after a long day in O.R. but it was only a few beers. However, if you are doing like daily and taking more than a few beers yes i would consider is weird, but also question you on whether you are drinking to "solve your problem". Then i would suggest laying back because you could end up being an alcoholic.

Answer 23

ill give you the words to another great mans song

jim morrison-"and i woke up in morning and got myself a beer,and i woke up in morning and got myself a beer. future's uncertain,and the end is always near."

up to you

Answer 24

Drinking alone is not a problem as long as you are not doing so in order to get drunk. A lot of people think that if you drink one or two drinks per day for a long period of time, you will eventually begin depending on having those one or two drinks each and everyday. That could be interpreted as being the early signs of alcoholism. It is like smoking cigarettes or tobacco in any form. Just one or two each day will eventually lead to a pack or two.

It all depends on how much alcohol you are consuming and whether or not you can effectively drink in moderation and simply put it down. If you don't make a habit of doing this as a daily routine, then you should not have anything to worrry about. Just keep it to moderation and enjoy yourself. Don't let it become a habit or else it could develop into a problem.
