That 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.
