A friend of mine and I were having a conversation about enjoying our drinks and the situations that make it difficult to enjoy drinking and he related something his father had said, which was along the lines of, "if I had it all to do again, I would spend more time drinking and drinking alone".

I know a lot of people seem to think that drinking alone means that one is an alcoholic (which I think is some alarmist bullshit, until I see some real evidence), but the point is, having a drink is about enjoying the drink, not about using alcohol to make yourself enjoy something else. Life is too short for poor company, especially poor company while drinking.
