Heck of a turnout for The Session #65: So Lonely, but Nathaniel Southwood got right to a proper roundup.
Well, after he got over the shed envy that Alan inspired.
Anyway, with the number of posts (most ever?) the topic inspired many themes hit upon. Still, Nathaniel spotted a repeated thought.
I noticed a theme whilst going through all of your posts: no matter where you are in the world, the same stigma of alcoholism is associated with going to the pub alone. It’s interesting.
To tell you the truth, I still don’t understand.
I count 43, so think I still have the beatings of that with my 49 in March ’09.
Isn’t that “stigma” the basis of Thorogood’s I Drink Alone? Seems like I remember the suggestion of “drinking alone” as an alcoholic symptom from many years back — and I agree, I still don’t understand.
Cheers guys. Was a pleasure hosting it.
I think 44 responses (Not including those who commented instead of blogging) was my final count.
Amazing!
