Is it wrong to drink alone?
My husband and I were supposed to have strawberry margaritas tonight. He fell asleep and I went ahead and started drinking.

Am I a lush?

2. Nope.
My wife is asleep. I'm having a beer.
But you're not alone. You're at DU.

4. Good to know
I was beginning to wonder who I should make a drunken friday night call to. Now I won't have to, I'll just hang here at DU. :D

Wow, you should have seen the previous sentence when I first typed it. It made NO sense at all. LOL.

3. I drink alone all the time
If it's wrong I don't want to be right.

6. I don't know who started that idea that it's bad to drink alone
Liquor purveyors, I daresay. Isn't the point of drinking to alter your consciousness, to feel different? Why would it be bad to do that alone?

7. You might be in trouble. I never drink alone.
I always have my sweet, little doggie woggie with me.

10. Good Point
My doggie is here, therefore, I'm not alone. Problem solved. I also have a snoring husband on the couch, so technically, I'm not alone.

13. It CAN be a bad sign
One big red flag that my ex was about to break down was that he told me he started drinking alone...he was severely depressed.
But I wouldn't say it's wrong- I enjoy a nice vodka on the rocks on Fridays sometimes :hi:
