Now be honest ... I am going to keep this private

Who of you will drink alone (I dont mean embalm yourself but I mean have a few while settling down and watching tv)

Poll comming

*raises hand*

I see no problem with it.

*raises hand*

Will you have my babies? :)

I also see no problem as long as it is in moderation and does not cause problems in ones life ..

But so many people see it as patheitic


I dont get it a few to relax at the end of a hard week is not really a bad thing (as far as I can see)

currently enjoying a nice Blue Moon Ale...and as far as I know, I'm alone...

<.<
>.>

Sure. Getting hammered alone is a different kettle of fish though.

I prefer drinking with others, but I've certainly knocked back a few on my own in my day.

Voted for Upwardthrust can thrust me anytime ;)

Buy me a uterus and I'll pop out some babies for ya :fluffle:

And I agree, having a few beers is AKA relaxing.

Had a few drinks an hour or two ago.

When I'm not on call I'll curl up on the couch with something to drink and a book, nice way to relax. :)

A little bit of alcohol everyday is good for you (I keep telling myself, before I drink myself into a coma).

haha...that was my poll choice too.

A few drinks alone is all good. Hell, I don't see a big problem with getting blitzed alone, so long as it isn't habitual. I've had some bad nights I've properly drowned. Then I celebrated the drowning with a few drinks;)

If UpwardThrust weren't so damn sexy, I might be able to contribute something to this thread...




Seriously, though, that's the first sign of possible alcoholism. And a lot more people are alcoholics than realize it.

having a beer or two alone is hardly a sign of alcoholism. Getting drunk often and alone is a whole different story

currently enjoying a nice Blue Moon Ale...and as far as I know, I'm alone...

Then vote such! I got a manhatin myself

I get first thrust. *shakes fist*

And I just had finals Monday thru Friday, wouldn't have been bad, but I.. um.. what do they call it? Procrastinated. So it was stressful.. so yeah, don't remember Friday night ;)

Then vote such! I got a manhatin myself
haha...well, you drinking a manhattan just reinforces my poll choice (upwardthrust can thrust me).

Nothing tops a drink with whisk(e)y, or those who have them

I have been wondering about that myself ... I do have a sexual adiction strain but I drink maybe 2 times a month if I am lucky (well more then a beer or two) if I am lucky and not working 70 hour weeks

it has not changed for 2 almost 3 years (did not drink before 21) and I personaly prefer to do a lot of things by myself

Amost wondering if this is not just an extention of my often anti socialism

haha...well, you drinking a manhattan just reinforces my poll choice (upwardthrust can thrust me).

Ohh a whisky fan! ... I got a bottle of chery union hanging out here ... have you ever had any?

I get first thrust. *shakes fist*

And I just had finals Monday thru Friday, wouldn't have been bad, but I.. um.. what do they call it? Procrastinated. So it was stressful.. so yeah, don't remember Friday night ;)
haha...but...but...I voted first! Oh well...you can have the cheap shot...everyone knows the second is the good one...

what? TMI?

yeah, today was a day with the family. two beers with them, and we have a ton left...so I'll do my part to get rid of them

Ohh a whisky fan! ... I got a bottle of chery union hanging out here ... have you ever had any?
hmm...can't say I have...I'll have to find a sample somewhere.

I've always been a fan of the Irish guys...Johnny, Jameson...good men, they are.

Kanabia is also quite the whiskey fan

Who of you will drink alone?
I consume gallons of water - completely on my own - while doing the lawn on hot summer days.
I am a sinner.
Forgive me.

*quickly reads*

It's not very often that I have a chance to get me some alcohol.. so a drink or two isn't bad.

*shrugs*

Never TMI ;)

I'll help you with that beer, you wont even be drinking alone then!

Oh, question to who ever:If I was drinking with someone whos oh lets say.. in Norway.. but we drink at the same time while talking to each other.. is that drinking alone?

ahhh drinking by oneself
well, since i am underage, and don't get invited to those sorts of parties,
my only drinking is done by myself, when no adults are around to find out
but im pretty sure thats not a sign of addiction
misguided rebelliousness, sure, but im no alcoholic

Never TMI ;)

You sounded just like my brother!

When he's drinking he'll tell me I can't have the stuff he likes, or the expensive stuff. But he gets drunk.. goes blind.. I drink anything I see (mwahaha!!)

*continues meaningless talking*

He was camping once and they had leftover beer and what not.. he came down to the house and told me to come up and finish off the booze.

I finished everything.. then saw the bestestestest.. feh.. vodka. He told me "only a shot" while he looked for the shot glass.. the guy holding the vodka gave me it and told me to chug.. so I did :)

*kills thread*

According to several studies on alcohol, one or two driks per day is the optimum amount for your health. It doesn't mean you can drink during one night all dosages for the next two weeks.

I don't drink that one dosage per day but I don't mind taking a beer or a drink in the evening if I feel like it, especially if there's a good mathc on TV - I prefer european football.

I also get slight allergic reactions from red whine and beer, so, to avoid more serious reactions, I try to drink them every week as part of my desensitization :p

smart boy. Very smart boy. I think me and him would get along well ;)

*kills thread*haha...when I drink with my older sister, I usually get pointed at, and have one of them say "You! Brother! Shots! Now!"

who am I to refuse?

one of these guys also gave me a nalgene of beer after her 21st...we drank it, but never cleaned the nalgene...smelled like vinegar on the last week of school, so we chucked it.

I sometimes get extremely wasted even if I'm alone :p. Quite rare, though.

Really, there's no actual point in drinking alone, except sometimes a couple of online-gaming beers, but then one really isn't alone, not if you ask me.
From time to time it still is OK to drink even if you are stuck in a dark 10m2 hole with nothing to do except for dishes. Ummm... well, maybe then drinking alone would sound quite tempting.. :)

smart boy. Very smart boy. I think me and him would get along well ;)
I'll hook yas up..:eek:

You know, it always kinda puzzles me when people don't like whiskey. I mean, whats not to like. Really, Whiskey is one of the few alcoholic beverages I can enjoy (or stand, sometimes) straight. That an really good vodka. Particularly this Polish shit I had at one point. Forget the name, but damn!

Anyway, yeah, I can't see a problem with drinking alone. I usually drink with friends, but I love a drink or two (or four) when I'm just chillin'.

Ever try boilo?

And is it weird that I think whisky and white wine taste alike?

EDIT: w00t! 5,000 :eek: :D

I drank a bottle by myself :(
I usualy switch it up when by self

two weeks ago at a bachlor party I finished a bottle of union and canadian club by myself in under 5 hours

I'm getting that too damnit..muahahahahahaha

Mother must be very proud :P
that she is, my friend. that she is.

This frightens me..

well, it is a stronger tasting drink. And there are some I can't stand. I haven't really found a bourbon that I'm fond of...Jack kills me. All of the irish and scotches do great with me tho...blended, I haven't tried enough.

Compared to union .. it is shit

Also got a nice 15 year old glenfiddich here (sp?)

Lots of Polish vodka's....

Chopin? Starka? Belvedere? 2 1/2 Cross?

Make it sometime (http://www.coalregion.com/Recipes/boilo.htm), ;)

And, thought so..

well, it is a stronger tasting drink. And there are some I can't stand. I haven't really found a bourbon that I'm fond of...Jack kills me. All of the irish and scotches do great with me tho...blended, I haven't tried enough.

yeah, I suppose it is pretty strong.

I actually enjoy bourbon quite a bit, but I think I agree with you; a good scotch is definitely best.

Holy fuck man, that sounds incredibly tasty. Shit. I gotta make me some of that one day soon.

Thank you for introducing me to this idea.

You know, I really don't recall...as I remember, it was a friends bottle, and the only times I saw it, I was incredibly high/drunk. The rest of the time, I would just suddenly see a shot, or White Russian, appear in front of me.

The shots were good after Jaeger, cause for some reason, that shit makes my chest cold.

I think the vodka started with a "Wj". Maybe.

a nice johnny black? that is an orgasm in a glass, my friend.

Chopin is a great vodka, and this comes from a guy who detests vodka.

Johnny Black.....mmmmmmmmm...Almost makes me shiver just to think about it.

Never had Cutty Sark, though.

Wyborowa....maybe...who knows!

I'm Polish, I can't hate vodka...:)

I think you are correct! Thank you, Aerou. Thank Jesus for NS, and all the helpful vodka-lovers therein!

Yeah, the guy who had the vodka was a Polack. Got it on his last trip to Poland.

It runs in the blood :)

Johnny Black.....mmmmmmmmm...Almost makes me shiver just to think about it.

Never had Cutty Sark, though.the only downside of black is that Johnny isn't on the lable. I have a bar trick that works with red.

haha...yeah, I have some polish in me. I figure the German in me has just attacked the polish side after a bad evening with Popov.

Although, my recent kick in vodka martinis seems act towards my polish side like spinach to popeye.

Sorry. Your comment about being high made me think of this story of going to meet these two dudes just to smoke a joint. I did it earlier. And I got sidetracked into telling said story. Because I am hella high.

if I do a flavored martini, it is a chocolate raspberry espresso martini.

However, I'll take a bombay sapphire or Chopin martini any day. dry. straight up. with olives.


maybe dirty, depending on my mood;)

Mmmm, martini's.
a woman after my own heart...haha

I've never had one of those, but...wow...that sounds amazing. I want one, heh.

I've never had one of those, but...wow...that sounds amazing. I want one, heh.
haha...its actually a personal creation...for myself, I make them a bit blah...but for a customer, I'll make it look awesome.

if you want to order one, and the bartender just gives you a werid look, its this:

6 counts stoli razz, 3 counts creme de cocoa, and a shot of espresso.

If I'm being fancy, then the espresso goes in the bottom, then the stoli/cocoa, and then you float chamboard around the rim and let it drizzle down.

cinnamon vanilla is another good one

I had a few whilst watching Southpark last night... it made me warm and fuzzy.

Sure. I mean, I wouldn't get watsed, but I'd have a few, no problem.
