People are built differently. I saw a heist movie alone on my 21st birthday. I prefer movies alone, along with many other things like eating out. To your point, I would rather go alone to the movies or not at all. It's just a better experience.
I live on 40 acres alone. I'm snowed in here currently, without a care.
But I also own a bar, and bars make you lots and lots of friends. And I'm close with my family.
I don't drink alone, but just because I have no urge to drink when I'm not at a bar. I have a bottle that's been in my fridge a few years and isn't even open.
- alias_neo 5y agoThat was the point I was trying to make. I don't do any of those things alone but not because I don't like being alone. I curate my friends, preferring to have few, but who are reliable, I aim not to make friends with people I meet, and the ones I do have been the one's that have clicked. My wife, on the contrary _loves_ doing things alone, she'll happily go see a film I want to see without me if I can't find the time (she's on maternity leave with our second child currently). I love in London and it's very common to socialise in a pub here, so drinking alone does have somewhat of a stigma attached here. That said, I'm not sure why anyone should be dissuaded from a scotch and a cigar once the children have gone to bed.
- mod 5y agoI think drinking alone is probably healthier in a lot of respects. Alcohol destroys relationships for a lot of people. If they drank alone, it would have a much smaller effect on those relationships.
