Have a couple drinks, some food and chill with the scene. i never really got this mentality i prefer being at home to being in bars because, in most cases, i hate bars. they are crowded and loud. (i go to them anyway to see and play live music but i dont find them relaxing at all). also there's a pandemic going on so i tend to do my drinking at home. this usually involves like, one drink with dinner. maybe two if i'm watching a movie. that doesn't seem like alcoholism to me? meanwhile i know plenty of people who do most or all of their drinking in bars or other social situations who are total alcoholics and still get completely wasted all the time. over the course of my life i've seen hundreds of people in social drinking situations that clearly have a very unhealthy relationship with drink, being encouraged to keep drinking by others around them or the atmosphere in general the only difference between social drinking and solo drinking is that the former is more socially acceptable. it isn't healthier. likewise solo drinking isn't automatically less healthy. its more about knowing your limits and whether you are better off deciding those limits yourself or you need/want some kind of social reinforcement.
