British people who drink alone at home, is it normal to start talking to yourself?

@Matt85 As a UK lady, how did you find it?

@Oldanglaisadverbs LOL!

Actually, I didn't. In fact I don't think I have any beer in the house at the moment. Plenty of spirits but I drink those even less often.

I still think aloud though. Or curse myself for some loss or clumsiness.

@ArishMell Not one minute of talking aloud after spirits?

@Oldanglaisadverbs I last had a wee dram on New Year's Eve: I think I had a beer earlier in the evening but came out on the front doorstep, glass in hand with a tot of whisky, to wish Happy New Year to anyone who passed by. I think one person did.

Eeeh, I know how to live it up!

@ArishMell Do you drink alone?

@Oldanglaisadverbs Only very, very occasionally, and then only very mildly. Typically just one bottle of beer with a meal, or even rarer, a single "wee dram".

I've even thrown away beer I had bought, put away, forgotten about and found again long after its "Best before" date! (It does go off, eventually.)

The one thing I will do though, even when on my own, is pour the drink - alcoholic or soft - into a glass. With the exception of a water-bottle carried on a long walk, I never use that sloppy habit of drinking straight from the bottle. I would not dream of doing so in a pub or restaurant, and not even at home.

@meJess Does this apply to you?

@Oldanglaisadverbs yep
