I enjoy drinking alone. I like to have a glass or two of champagne, watch Netflix, surf Reddit, or sometimes organize my room, and it’s just fun for me.
I don’t get shitfaced but I’ll definitely drink a bit until I fall asleep and I just enjoy having my “me time.”
Is it stupid or concerning that I prefer drinking alone over with friends?

There’s nothing concerning about having a drink alone.
The concern comes (whether alone or with others) when you’re doing it because you have to, rather than want to. When you can ‘stop whenever you want’ but never actually do. When you’re drinking to excess and doing it to excess. That kind of behaviour.
As someone who has issues with addiction, this isn’t inherently problematic. It’s when the two glasses becomes a bottle, once a week every evening etc. There isn’t a measurable line about when something becomes problematic; if it isn’t having a negative impact on your life then no. But keep an eye on it. I’d say the biggest red flag is when you’d prefer to do this above other things you used to enjoy.
As long as it does not become problematic to the point that you need it to function.
My wife and I do the same as you. Sometimes it’s just nice to have a drink while chilling on the couch.
Nope, it’s your time. Have you not seen the millions of posts of people having a bath watching Netflix or a movie with a wine or two. It’s very common.
Ask George Thorogood.
Drinking alone right now while bbq’ing….but I am an alcoholic 🤦🏻🤷🏻
Very concerning, I would be very careful sharing this information.
/s
Nah no one cares love, do you
no -this is the way
Depends on the frequency. Once a week, okay. Once every other day, that’s almost alcoholism
I don’t like to socialize, so if I never drank alone, I would never really drink.
Try weed..it’s safer..
Yeah? With nobody else?
In a perfect world I would do everything alone other than sexual intercourse.
I do this probably once a week. I enjoy me time.
It’s not a great sign and you know what they say about if you have to ask
Nope, I’ve done it and still do it. It only becomes concerning if you have to hide it
The other day I got invited to a party, but I stayed home instead. Just me and my pal Johnny Walker and his brothers Black and Red.
Seemed to work pretty well for George Thorogood.
I live alone. I often have a couple cocktails, or wine. It’s no big deal. If you find yourself drinking a lot every night and can’t stop, seek help such as A.A., N.A, etc.
Nah people suck I drink with the cat
