re: Why is drinking alone frowned upon?

I drink beer alone all the time, got the wife and kid at the house. If I get to the golf range, bar, fishing etc etc etc I always knock a few back.

Plus I mow the lawn alone and get shite faced dang near every time I do it, there's something about mowing and drinking.

What if I don't like being around people and still want a beer?

Medically speaking, you need to have, 3 out of about 5 or 6 signs to be considered an alcoholic.

Man if you see me drinking alone be happy for me, its a momentary respite!

I’m really just waiting for some super Baptist to tell me how I’m going to hell for this.

I'm Baptist and I assure you you won't go to hell for it

You'll go to hell for being Catholic

If you get drunk by yourself frequently then thats one of the hallmark signs of being an alcoholic.

I do it all the time. In fact so much that it’s impossible because now I’m just one of the regulars that knows everyone almost everywhere I go.

Actually it's a sign that you are an introvert. I generally don't hang out with anyone except my wife and kids, and I never drink around them. So I drink alone, because I like to drink and I don't like to socialize

Whatever you say, bud.

I've tried drinking alone and I actually don't really like it. Drinking makes me social. When I'm alone I'd rather be sober reading/watching/doing stuff I like. To each their own.

Now that I am a married man, this is the primary way I drink. Saturday night, she goes to bed early, me and my Bourbon have a party with Netflix.
