Here's a question:
Is it alone if you're drinking and then spending time with people who have no idea that you had been drinking?
Or, is it alone when you're hanging out with people and drinking, but no one else is (Like a 20 something year old spending time with his underage cousins).
I feel like I would agree if I ever went to a bar. Yuck.
I joined A.A so I could drink alone.
No one drinks there anymore.
It's not drinking alone if you're posting on Letsrun.
I drink alone most of the time.
I am not afforded this luxury yet; however, I am looking forward to it. I have read some good posts on this thread that I agree with.
I believe that when I live alone I will enjoy cooking and drinking alone or watching t.v. and/or funny movies while drinking alone and laughing loudly by myself.
Also, would it be considered drinking alone if I drink and then play xbox while trash talking the kids over the internets?
I think it will be much more relaxing being able to drink alone; there is no social pressure. There is 3 things that I have not mastered about drinking with others and it causes me some stress.
1. When two groups/clicks invite you to their separate outings. It is stressful explaining that you already made prior plans; they always get on your case. Also, if you go to one for just a bit; they give you a hard time when you leave.
2. This is my biggest stressor I think. Leaving and saying goodbyes. I never know, if its a large group, who are the people that I should say goodbye to outside of the host, and who it's ok to skip. I usually end up staying until the end just so there are less people to which I must say goodbye.
3. I just don't like people being so judgemental when I am just trying to have a good time.
I just cracked open a cold one. Mmmmmm....
