  For me, going out and drinking is something that is fun but also somewhat stressful and energy consuming. A whole variety of little things can just ruin my whole night and make me feel like crap when I’m drunk- that’s the kind of person I am. Being at home in my pajamas, sitting back and having some drinks is completely different experience: pure relaxation.
context: I often drink alone in my shed. I like to look at my stuff, tinker, talk to my dogs, watch stuff on YouTube and in winter have a nice fire  maybe cook my dinner out there. Get a little blasted, head off to bed. I love it, doing no harm to anyone, maybe just my liver. >
  
  I want your shed. >
  
  It's a ripper, just installed a toilet in there. Wife is concerned I'm going to build a bunk and never go back to the house. Well, she says she's concerned. >
  
  Hell, I'd do just that. Your shed sounds like the introvert's Cheers. I wish I had a shed. I'd like to get away. >
  
  I do welcome guests to the shed regularly but I enjoy it just as much on my own >
  
  Sounds awesome man. As soon as I can buy a house with some property, shed time. >
  
  Don't marry a country girl.  She'll fill that shed up with turkeys.  If you build a second shed, she'll fill it up with jumbo cornish rocks or milking goats.  Laughing.  I guess I have given my husband some grief over the years.  The poor guy tried to keep up with me. >
  
  I don't allow household junk to be stored in my shed. Its primarily a workshop, then a hobby cave, then a drinking den. I process fruit, make jerky, brew beer and wine all sorts of stuff. I also do mechanical repairs to my vehicles and keep a boat in there. Definitely no room for turkeys! >
  
  The older I get, the more I prefer drinking at home either alone or with some friends. Whenever I share this with people, they always seem to have some sort of concerned expression on their face like they’re deciding whether I’m an alcoholic or not. Couldn’t be bothered either way. >
  
  I'm the opposite. My dad was an abusive alcoholic. I don't even keep a bottle of wine at home. When I go out, I'll have a nice cocktail before dinner, and a glass of wine with the meal, and I'm fine with that. >
  
  Exactly >
  
  In finnish we have word for that: ”Kalsarikännit” = Drinking home alone in your underwear without intention to go out. >
  
  In America, we do this. Except it's the day after drinking where I order Chinese food, lament the fact that I can't answer the door undressed, then return to my underpants, never leaving the couch and live in shame for 24 hours dreading my return to work Monday. >
  
  Music sounds so much better after a few bevs at home. >
  
  There are some songs/albums that with the right amount of beverages at home just tear me down. It's like therapy. >
  
  Which ones are your fav? >
  
  I always have a hard time pulling songs/albums from memory but here are a few songs: Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd, You Can't Go Home by Leftover Crack, Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, Sick of You by Gwar. And albums: Laika Come home by Spacemonkeyz vs Gorillaz, ATLiens by Outcast, Smash by The Offspring. Most of those either have a direct link to a different time in my life or are just great freaking songs. >
  
  Smash by the offspring makes me want to drive 100mph on the freeway, swerving in and out of lanes just to find someone to fight >
  
  I am a grown adult that is aware of my physical capabilities, and my days of going into a mosh pit are over. That being said, I went to an all day festival type concert and when The Offspring played Bad Habit my subconscious took over and I threw my body into the crowd, instantly lost my glasses, and my wife had to drive us home that night. >
  
  I hope during the drive back she called you a stupid, dumb shit, goddamn, motherfucker. >
  
  Funny reading this comment as I hold a glass of wine in my hand at home sitting alone watching TV >
  
  Same, except mine’s gin >
  
  Or maybe just have 2 or 3 closest friends. But yeah I would prefer drinking or doin edibles alone at home rather than in public >
  
  Love having a good old fashioned sleep over with my friends as adults.  Get blasted, listen to music, play games, etc.  Don’t have to worry about a designated driver and we usually go out for brunch the morning after, it’s amazing. >
  
  Hey man, it's me one of your friends. When are we meeting up next? >
  
  100000% agree, drinking at home is superior >
  
  I just wrapped a pint and a half in my basement. I don't need to be drunk, but I like to have a good beer stretched over a couple hours of bad Netflix and random web browsing. In fact, it's about the only escapism I have that doesn't disappoint me these days. >
  
  Exactly like this. Only for me its the ps4 + music instead of netflix. Its therapeutic >
  
  Yup. I spend so much time around horrible people that I just enjoy being alone in my man cave on the weekends. I don't do this every day - it's just my weekend escape ritual.
