Food, Drink & Dining Out Pre-Drinking Alone

[La Dispute]

Thoughts on it?

I'm currently downing a six pack of Fat Yak before heading out. I find, being an introvert, if I spend the pre-drinking time by myself I'm more engaged and enjoy myself than if I pre-drink with mates and then go out.

Often, I'll end up uninterested if I spend too much time with others. I see lone wolfing the pre-drinks as a necessary action.

I'm going to watch the movie Knocked Up and then enjoy a beer in the shower.

You guys?

It means you are an alco. Have fun.

It means you are an alco. Have fun.

How so?

I'm using my time to do things I want to do while at the same time drinking so I'm already ready to go out.

A six pack before heading out? Seems a lot but fair enough.

Your life if you want a drink have one or 6. Who cares what others do?

r u ok?

I'm well, yourself?

 

[Rusty22]

I'm well, yourself?

good mate, where you heading out to?

 

[perthblue]

sometimes I drink by myself and then don't even go out afterwards. but I'm generally unhappy so don't take advice from me.

Don't worry. If you grow out of it, then there is nothing to worry about. No one should drink by themselves. It isn't healthy, especially if it is a consistent habit.

Making a dash to Brunswick this evening.

Drinking by yourself has its perks - you choose the activities, everything is done according to your schedule and you can take your time in arriving at your destination.

It's a wonderful initiative. Certainly if it's a daily ritual there are some underlying problems.

I used to do it. Not 6 but have a couple before I went out. If everyone is already drinking then you want to have a few in you before you see them especially if you are introverted.

If you are drinking at home alone with out the intention of going out then that's different. That's usually when depression kick in.

What the? By "drink" do you mean to excess? There's nothing wrong with a beer with dinner or a beer after work, no matter if you're alone or not.

It only becomes a problem if you're drinking three or four by yourself every single night and it turns into a habit

Excessively brother. Just excessively.

As long as you're not doing it everyday then who cares?

There is nothing wrong with drinking on your own.

Its getting drunk on your own regularly that is an issue.

Pre-drinking is stupid concept to me regardless of whether it's alone or with company. You're either drinking or you ain't.

Drinking here.

I get the semantics but it's just the drinks before the drinks you have when you go out.

 

[Billy ray]

Im doing exactly the same.
Except im not drinking
And not going out.
But i am alone.

I understand that, but it's just drinking though, isn't it?

It isn't like a 'warm up', where you stretch, run some basic drills, yada yada. You're doing the exact same thing you'll be doing later on just in a different place. It's labeling something that doesn't need it imo. There's no difference between saying "I might have a few drinks before heading out" and "I might have a few pre-drinks before heading out".

I used to do this, then my tolerance got too hard to beat on my own.

Agree. Just really a matter of degree.

It's so you don't spend $100 on booze out on the town
