Alcoholics.
Definitely alcoholics.
There is nothing inherently worse about drinking alone than there is drinking with other people, it's the exact same thing. This is something that's always bugged me, countless alcoholics/binge drinkers get passes as social drinkers because they've found friends who have problems just as bad as they do. Drinking around those people doesn't change anything though.
Like I said earlier, when I started drinking alone I realized that the only reason I had been maintaining such a large number of friendships was because I wanted people to drink with so I could continue lying to myself about my problem. Drinking alone didn't make things any worse than they already had been. There are just as many people who drink alone and have it under control as there are people who drink socially and do the same thing, the whole drinking alone being a sign of an alcoholic is a load of shit.
