Oh, and If I am stressed out when I get home from work I sometimes pour myself a large glass of port before tackling any chores.
I never feel like drinking during the day when I am on my own.
Yes they do say that about drinking alone. I think what "they" are on about is secret drinking, where the bottle is hidden away and the act of drinking is denied eg if you were having a glass of wine and a friend popped round, would you offer them a glass too or hide the glass and bottle and pretend that you weren't drinking?
