So Sportscow is encouraging me to go out and buy alcohol.
The problem is, if I do that, I'll be Sad-y McSadderson drinking by myself. I honestly can't decide whether or not it's better to be sober and alone or drunk and alone. What do you think?

I do this all the time
but I am a sad internet shut-in.
I used to drink a bottle of wine, then fire up the internet poker while I started a second. My performance was... erratic.
Tend to stick to just the one bottle and avoid the internet poker these days.

Yep.
I read somewhere that a couple of glasses of wine an evening with a meal is actually a net positive. More than that is not, sadly.

I have a couple of "half-bottle" glasses
But I don't use them. I like to pit my laziness against my incipient alcoholism - if I use really small glasses I have to keep getting up and refilling, so I drink slower and hence less.

the government recommendations are a shower of shite.
And the only large-scale meta-analysis of alcohol consumption suggests you need to be putting away about 50 units a week before it's statistically more dangerous to your health than being teetotal.
Also remember this is the same group of people who tell pregnant women not to drink at all, even when all available evidence suggests a glass or two of wine a week is quite benificial. Because they freely admit "they don't trust the populace to stop at one or two glasses" .. and think about what they then REALLY mean by "21 units"
so, y'know.

To be fair, they are right not to trust people to be able to follow the advice.
If you tell people not to drink at all, as they have done with pregnant women, most will limit themselves to one or two glasses.

It's a brilliant portmaneu word to describe Monty's cock.
It's brilliant because you can adapt the "d" to so many accurately descriptive words, such as "dribbling" "drooping" or, as you say "drug addled"

It completely depends what mood you're in.
I love it when I'm happy and get pissed by myself. I end up dancing around my bedroom with music at deafening volumes. Usually in my pants.
When you're in a bad mood it's easier to start drinking on your own than it is when you're happy, obviously, but it's shit. I end up chain smoking on my bed whilst this angst bequeaths itself upon me. Hard to get out of that once it starts and it just gets worse.
If you're not drinking to get away from anything, go for it, it's ace.
