"I used to drink home alone all the time"
I hear ya. That's one thing I was very grateful for, I didn't like to drink out at bars and events and such (I'd do it, just didn't like to.) I keep lots of stuff around to drink, sweet tea is my new drink of choice and I consume lots of it especially when the 'chug' cravings hit. Heck it's great just to get the body and brain hydrated again after so many years.
