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

Yes, anyone living on an island finds this to be a normal circumstance of Island living! LOL

It's one way to receive sensible answers or the only answers you want to hear! :-)
Why British people though? You could ask the same of Americans, French, Germans, etc., etc.

@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.

Why would you need to drink for that?

@meJess Does this apply to you?
