The Short Answer
I often drink, to get drunk, alone ,and don't care if it's stigmatized or celebrated. I would prefer to be drunk in my own home, with my own soundtrack, my own volume, and the comfort of my own couch. There's no risk of running into an asshole looking for trouble, there's no risk of getting bored of the people I'm with, there's no risk of spending more than I planned, there's no risk of getting volcanus the next morning from eating Taco Bell..mainly because I don't have one in my house, but I digress. I do enjoy going out, but I stay sober. I prefer drunk interwebzing and listening to my own music. In fact, I'm doing this stigmatized activity right now. Listening to Brown Sabbath (check them out if you dig Black Sabbath. They do covers with a smooth jazz infusion) and not worrying about anything but somebody showing up unannounced and trying to drink my beers.
