Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -
bad sign, you're drinking alone so you're an alcoholic.
...and while your at it cut that "hefty" carbon footprint, turn the heating down, and turn the television off.
You'll feel much better.I'm alright JackComment

I regularly drink alone, because I live alone. I think that says more about my social life than it does about my addiction to alcohol.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

I've had some benders in my time, but I am now older and not too keen on feeling drunk. Also I find that fitness levels flag if hitting the bottle too hard, and it's not as easy to recover.
That said I do like a jolly good slurp at the best of times.

Since moving to the sticks, negotiating trains and tubes whilst three sheets to the wind lost its appeal, and adding the 6am starts, a hangover is not fun.
I tend to stick to couple of ales and leave it at that.Comment

I know a social worker who got down graded for writing a paper saying that heroin is used as a recreational drug by many in the middle classes without risk of addiction.Comment

I regularly see students in summer after their exam period doing this. Makes me feel bloody old as I use to do it.
However I remember you use to get pass a stage where you weren't that drunk because you were actually pacing yourself to last all day without falling asleep."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Some people drink. Some people don't.
Some people drink more than 28 "units" a week, some don't.
Some people get happy while drinking, some people don't.
Some people drink alone, some people don't.
Some people have hangovers, some people don't.
Some people drink in the morning, some in the afternoon, some only in the evening, some all day.
So what am I trying to say?
I've no bloody idea, I'm half cut on Tio Pepe...If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

Baby Britain feels the best floating over a sea of vodka
Separated from the rest
Fights problems with bigger problems
Sees the ocean fall and rise
Counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her
Water pouring from her eyes
Alcoholic and very bitterComment
