is it bad to drink alone?

my breath was taken once again when someone looked at me and said, "you're drinking alone?!?!! " what the fuck is wrong with having a drink here and there after work or a long day(s) whatever? it's not like we are getting wasted here, 1-2 drinks at most when in non-social.
the people that have said it to me, make it seem like its a huge fucking deal   who drinks alone sometimes, and who is reminded that they may occasionally drink alone after work(etc)?

When I drink I prefer to be alone. I just get drunk and draw or play guitar. 
If I am in a social setting I usually just end up wandering off.

The average person doesn't like to be introspective, Usually using any drug alone will have that effect on people. Drinking around others usually yield a more fun state of mind but a lone it usually leads to darker thoughts. Most people don't like that, I enjoy it myself I think it's good to sort through your own shit alone while having a drink.

I just think it's boring...I'm not a big drinkiner and don't like the taste of really any hard alcohol...but if I do drink it's to get trashed and just being alone ain't fun IMO.
I prefer being high

ehh, see i'm the same way. before that person walked into my living room and asked me what i was drinking, i was peach. clear-headed, sorting my problems out and everything. then BAM, mr. buzzkillington comes through and thoughts stop  i do it to clear my mind and think about the real shit going on, and also to partially escape.

I drink 8-12 beers alone all the time, get mighty drunk alone all the time, but i get even more fucked up when i socialize. SO no i dont think its bad. maybe its signs of an alcoholic but technically if you drink over 4 drinks a week you are an alcoholic.

I'm a big fan of drinking about 4-5 Four Loko cans over the course of a day, but then the subsequent pain and seizures were not worth it.
Drinking along is definitely not, in itself,bad. Drinking a lot alone for extended time periods and have no one to call paramedics later is.

I love drinking alone just as much as drinking with other people. I rock out to music, play video games, dick around online...sing and dance horribly. It doesnt really matter if somebody's there or not, I still have fun.

This is how I am too. I don't see what the big deal is about drinking alone. Who started this rumor that it is a terrible thing anyway?

Having a beer after a long day of work? How could anyone possibly construe that as a 'bad' thing. When you start pounding 6+ beers EVERY day alone, then maybe you've got a problem, but when you have 1-2 beers every 1-2 days I'd say you're more than in the clear.

i think the whole 'if you drink alone you're a drunk' business is a general rule. and you know how people are generally dumb and misinterpret everything. having a couple of drinks isn't exactly 'drinking' unless you're an addict. this is common knowledge to every human man, lady, kid, etc.

That's complete bullshit unless you mean 4 drinks a day. My brother drinks a beer a night at dinner, that's 7 beers a weeks. Does that make him an alcoholic?

i think you're an alcohol if you're either physically addicted (regardless of if you can maintain your life) or if your alcohol habit is preventing you from having a grip on your shit.

Ya, if it's impacting your life in a negative way and you can't stop it, then you might be an alcoholic.

of course its not that bad, i love having a shot of rum after a hard day at work/school get home have a drink & a smoke & put on some music. my favorite part of the day. mind you, i do come from a long line of Irish alcoholics  no different than drinking with mates, i mean, your still drinking. IMO its more fun by yourself since most of my mates act like dicks after they've had a few drinks. i just like to relax
