    Typically I drink beer alone to relax because I work shift work (12's with 14 days off a month)

    Tasting a new beer by myself with music playing while relaxing in my chair is my ultimate "me time". Unless I'm on vacation (with my gf) then she makes time to go with me to breweries and the like.

    "Do you drink beer alone or with others?"
    Yes, quite often, in fact.

    Ya know when I drink alone... I prefer to be by myself !- George Thorogood

    Couldn't resist... The wife can't drink carbonated beverages so she sticks to liqueur or wine when we go out or are drinking at home... I guess the only time I drink beer with other people that are drinking beer is when I'm with my band mates or when I stop at the tavern after fishing.

    Going to a group run tonight that starts and ends at a brewery. So tonight, I'll be drinking with people. From there, I may go home and enjoy a beer on my own, or I may go over to a friends to drink on their back porch. Tomorrow? We'll see. I do enjoy sitting out on the screened-in porch with some tunes on low volume, while I consume a new beer.

    I enjoy both settings. Although, I'm much less likely to order something heavy, or rare when I'm drinking in a more social setting.

    I limit my beer drinking to 4 days per week, simply for health reasons (body weight, and to give my liver a little break here and there). So, I typically drink beer alone two nights during the work week and Friday/Saturday. Sometimes on Sundays if I don't have a big Monday ahead of me.

    I'm usually drinking in good company which are the folks here on BA.

    I'm single, no roommate, work a night shift (off at 1 a.m.) and *really* like beer, so my drinking beer ratio is probably 80/20 alone/with others.

    That ratio doesn't reflect my preference -- sharing beer with friends and family is always a blast. But at least when I drink alone, I'm guaranteed to be in excellent company. :grinning::stuck_out_tongue::grinning:

    Always drinking great beers by myself and usually here, sharing the mediocre adjunct lagers with friends.

    Well then I guess I don't drink alone after all.

    But when I drink beer, it's primarily by myself.

    Call me selfish but I like to select the setting, music, glassware, TV channel, sports game, videogame, etc. At home by myself I can drink and do what I want.

    Being an only child really does stay with you

    Exactly, a fair excuse. BA makes me feel like I am not drinking alone.

    82% alone, 17% with others and 1% none of the above

    Just like you...
    I do, however, have my usual Friday night get-together with my neighbors when we pop around to a different local place each week having beers and snacks or dinner. The only problem with that is that if there's a good beer on tap I can't review it ~ the bar or restaurant itself is usually enough of a distraction, but being with a group of people makes it almost impossible.

    With others, because the voices in my head are great company.

    Seriously, mostly alone, sometimes with the Mrs, and as many Thursday beer shares with @oach and the other guys in our group as possible.
