So why is drinking alone bad again?

There's that ever present social stigma about drinking alone. I don't know why it exists and why its frowned upon to drink alone. I do it all the time, its super fun.
I find that the best parties are those the ones you throw and nobody else is invited but you. Don't you think?

In my mind, Drinking alone is good. I get in too much trouble chugging around people. Way too much trouble.

People who only drink with other people don't know how to drink.

I don't see a problem with drinking alone. I'm about to crack into a few beers, and if nobody wants to join me then there will be more for myself

Of course drinking alone isn't bad. That's like saying eating a steak alone is bad. I think consistently getting drunk, whether alone or not, is probably unhealthy. But thats it. I think the only people that have issues regarding solo drinking/drug taking, are the ones that only drink to lower inhibitions in social situations. So to them drinking alone seems weird, or pointless. They don't appreciate it in the same way. Likewise someone that only smokes herb with others probably dosn't appreciate it in the same way as someone who likes to alter their mind in seldom does. Just my 2p.

I do it Our society seems to have this obsession with constant social stimulation, doing a lot of things alone is generally looked upon as weird/strange.
Don't get me wrong, I love being around people but sometimes I just need to be alone with my thoughts for a while.

Drinking alone seems really lonely and sad, whenever I drink alone it's purely to get smashed and watch t.v. I always feel like a true addict drinking alone. Every time I drink alone, I think why don't I have someone to drink with? Then I get sad and drink more.
Drinking alone just isn't for me

Your more likely to punch your friend directly in the face if your drinking with other people and not drinking alone.

I don't really like drinking in the first place, and usually I only drink to socialize other than a beer or two to relax. The reason I don't like drinking alone is because it makes me feel sloppy and depressed. I'll do any other drug alone without issues but it just doesn't feel right with alcohol.
With that being said, I think there's no issue if someone wants to drink alone

The distinction is mostly bullshit IMO. A lot of the time it seems like a way for heavy "social" drinkers to say "Hey, at least I'm not as sad of a case as the guy doing the same thing on his own."

Getting drunk alone is one thing, and a rarity to be enjoyable. Usually it'll just make me wanna be social.
It's sad when it's a regular thing, just like any addiction is (or better, can be) IMO. Also agree with PSI in that going out with friends every day and getting blackout drunk is just as sad.

I find it strange how I've loved every GABAergic drug I've tried, and was always a way for me to escape. But alcohol just always made things worse for me.

That's how it is for a lot of people, I've noticed. Despite (especially here) people shunning alcohol, how it is such a serious/harmful addiction- it is hard to wind up with a serious booze habit. It's so much quicker, easier to take a (benzo) than it is to stomach 375mL+ liquor. The hangovers, the nausea, etc. The "bright" side being it is legal, but I'm pretty sure most people here feel all drugs should be legal. Just my thoughts, of course.

I drink when I go out, but I don't always go out. I have some parties I'm throwing soon, I invited a few friends & was wondering if you wanted to come. We are trying to find alot of people to come, we want to have over double the amount we had last time. My parties are usually where most people find there daily source of fun. Its as if I have too much fun and the world wants to take it. They see someone who can have so much fun and want to spread that fun to everyone, so everytime he sees someone not having fun he can make it fun again. I know my friends are always having fun without me, or they won't tell me where they went to have fun and I want to know. Its like I will confront them before they get in their house & ask them why they didn't tell me before.
I really hope you make it to my party everyone is bound to be waiting there already. Its like my party started before it began, you know when a party is so momentous that it shakes the very earth? Well all of London dedicated a day where we shall surround a house throwing a party & watch intently. Watching the house to see when the party would be over, or if it was still going on how long was it before it ended. My parties are usually short, maybe an hour at most before I insist that everyone leave.

I look at it like this I prefer to drink and trip alone and fish alone this gives me private time to think what I gotta think. Not that I mind drinking tripping and fishing with others but most times I like to keep to myself.

Sometimes you need to bring a friend along to make sure you are alright. Its good to know someones there for you if you ever need it, its like they are offering a helping hand without expecting anything in return, they just wanted to help you so badly that they had to do what they did. They tried to bring you a friend to keep you company & they advised him not to speak to anyone other than this person. They deleted all their contacts from the world. They said he would meet new people in a month, and he better be at the meeting or else. They mentioned the meetin gat a meeting in Ohio last week. So during a meeting someone discussed a potential next meeting.
Sometimes we find ourselves wanting tohelp someone alot more than usual, and its almost as if we insist that we help them along.
