I enjoy drinking alone.

I think of it more as ‘quieting’ the mind - the internal monologue - this does help with socialising, and numbing bad feelings, but it’s still useful when neither of those things are relevant I.e. winding down after a full-on day. I socialise (and have bad thoughts) in the mornings too, but I dont want a drink then

you’re socializing with yourself
