I'm just curious

Do you drink (alcohol) when you are by yourself?

If yes, do you observe the same limits as when you are drinking with other people, or different ones? Why?

If no, why not?

I'm sure some of you don't drink alcohol at all, and while I respect that choice and am sure you have reasons for making it, I'm interested in the alkies' responses on this one.

I guess I'm with the consensus. I drink alone on occasion: if there's a wine I like at home, I'll drink one or two glasses with food. (Everything's better with food, right?)

I don't drink when I'm unhappy because I've learned that it only makes me feel more maudlin or unhappy, and if I'm already feeling that, while pile useless calories on top of it?

I too drink to feel more relaxed in social situations, so I'm almost always likely to drink more at a party or a friend's house than I will by myself.
