I have never associated my drinking with with being by myself too much. If anything, spending time with too many people was a huge contributing factor in getting me started down the wrong path; That and the fact that I think I was probably predisposed to uncontrolled drinking.
I'm not disagreeing with you, however. It's important to understand when one of our behaviors is having a negative effect, and to take steps to correct it.
