How often do you get drunk alone?

Used to be 2 beers and a shot or two of whiskey (Black Bush, mmmmm), or something mixed like ginger & Jack per night.
Until the roomie moved out, now I can only afford the one beer per diem. Sigh.
Going to a bar is more sociable, but I would probably be the guy in the corner either sulking into my glass or grinning like a goof at everyone. I'm a happy-drunk, tho', so socializing is more of a possibility.
Unfortunately, bottles of domestic, mass-produced (non-micro) beer usually go for 4-5 bucks each at a bar, shots for the same, and it is 2-5 times cheaper to just buy it and do it at home since a six-pack of glass is $10-12...

"grinning like a goof at everyone." Awesome. I've done that. I'm a happy drunk too. Nice for social. But. I don't socialize often where we drink so yeah. =)

Seldomly one beery or small glass of fine scotch (Highland Park 
)but just for the pure pleasure of it. My father was an alcoholic till I was 16, and drinking allone I see as one symptom. I don't know, it wouldn't even come to my mind to fight sadness or other problems with alcohol.
I even try to reduce drinking in company, because I often face huge feelings of guilt on the mornings after.

I only get drunk on my own before im heading out. I medicate with it. I dont see the point in drinking alone..maybe for a better sleep!
Plus i try to avoid drinking alone as i dont want to become a alcholic, because my mother was and i medicate with drink quite enough so im aware i may follow in her footsteps. I think if i drink alone that will only speed up the process.

Serious question. Has anyone gotten high/innebriated from cough syrup? I was prescribed some medicated cough syrup this past week for a nasty cold and have gotten just railed the past few times I've taken it. Like injecting red bull into my veins I kid you not. There are a few times when I've felt particularly down and ashamedly I've taken it to boost my mood. I've read that people can and do become addicted to it, and I can see why. My mood brightens considerably and I just feel plain giddy. :O

I try not to. I find that drinking alone depresses me even more.

I'm assing out right now. I went to a hockey game and paced myself(one beer per period). Sobered up on the ride home, went to the bar, started again and had a nightcap at home. All in all, a good night though. I don't blame alcohol: the cause of and solution to all of our problems, for anything. Met more people than usual. Take it for what you will.

Only when i'm really sad.. or just feel like it. About once every two months. Beer is good and has health benefits in moderation. It's better to drink a little instead of being super stressed out!
